Well I'm here in Barcelona on the eve of TechEd 2006. Although there is lots of new stuff around Windows Vista, Office 2007 and SharePoint 2007 at the moment  there probably aren't that many truly new development technologies being announced. Even so it still should be an very interesting conference. Even the sun was shining when I arrived....

As TechEd 2006 progresses I'll post more updates and comments to this blog.

To give you an idea of whats being talked about, I'm particularly looking forward to some of the following sessions:

Sessions on C# 3.0 by Anders Hejlsberg

• Asp.Net 2.0 Sessions by Fritz Onion and Jeff Prosie
• ASP.Net and AJAX with Nikhil Kothari (of the Microsoft ASP.Net team and a great MS Press book on ASP.Net Server controls fame) - details of his sessions on  his blog at http://www.nikhilk.net/
• Windows Mobile 5.0 sessions with Andy Wigley and David Goon on adaptive UIs and Windows Mobile Security.
• Talks on IIS 7.0 and IE 7.0 development

Talking of IE 7.0 I have just upgraded to IE 7.0 so it will be interesting to see how well it integrates with Visual Studio 2005 and any quirks and issues that arise. If you know of any already, let me know via your comments.
