A Quick Parse of the //Build 2015 Session List

Posted on by

I just flicked through the session list for //Build and was making a note of the sessions that (on first pass) line up with my particular set of interests and I thought I’d publish it here given that I was making the list anyway Smile

Note that the list;

  • isn’t sorted or prioritised in any way
  • has been made without any visibility about what’s happening in any of these sessions
  • is long – looks like around 80-100 hours of material to watch here at least
  • would be likely to be revised once the material starts to show up

With a big conference like this, I always watch the keynotes and then I typically make a few folders on my disk;

  • queue
  • watched
    • vital
    • useful
    • other

and I download as many videos as I can into that queue folder and then watch them and, once watched, I partition them across into one of the other 3 folders for future reference. It’s worth saying that ‘other’ category is often a reflection of whether I think the session is of use to me rather than a reflection on a talk.

I do generally download the videos because I can then watch them when travelling and so on and also because I usually watch them at 1.4x speed or similar.

Here’s the big list (so far);

Windows App sessions

Cross Platform App sessions

IoT sessions

Visual Studio sessions

Web sessions

.NET sessions

Azure sessions

Security sessions

Some ‘mystery’ sounding sessions;
