Why is it important to attend my 'Combating Software Entropy Session' at Tech-Ed Middle East 2010

I just quickly wanted to write down a brief introduction to my 'Combating Software Entropy' at Tech-Ed Middle East 2010

Session Outline:

In this session we are going to talk about

- How to tackle inherently complex nature of a software

- Gaining an insight in to the heart of the software design

- Heuristics associated with the software design and architecural patterns and practices

- What is bad design and how to fix it?

Audience:

Intended audience of this session in-general includes all the stake holders in software development process i.e. from Developer to Architect to Project and Program Manager and even CTOs and CIOs. However I have focused specially on targeting Software and Solutions Architects, i.e. individuals or teams responsible for the overall design and architecture of the solution. So, if you consider yourself as a stake holder in Software development process then you should be attending this session.

So here's the second part of the Tech-Ed Middle East Series. I have some really exciting updates for all of you.

Great Speakers:-
In my last post i shared an exciting speaker lineup with you. Guess what, the best just got better. Now we have added Eric Rudder, Somasegar and Scott Hanselman's to make this a stellar lineup for first ever Tech Ed Middle East event.

Eric, Soma and Scott all are big names and I expect their sessions to be jam packed. If you are coming to the event (and why shouldn't you) then you should be looking at the agenda and organizing your sessions as soon as possible.
You can also take a look at running order of the event here.

Great Content:-
There are 96 sessions distributed under 18 tracks. Mix this with partner sessions and instructor led labs and you have a wealth of great technical content to choose from.Look out for some great keynotes and break out sessions.

Great Fun:-
Geeks want to have fun!

Here are couple of pointers that I would like to share with you all:-

Day 1: 1st March 2010
A day full of technical sessions will lead towards fun filled evening. In the evening, welcome reception will make way for some local cultural entertainment. This I am sure will dazzle visiting delegates.

Day 2: 2nd March 2010
On the eve of Day 2, all the delegates will be invited to attend a party on the beach. Party will be divided in to two different areas:
- Chill out Zone
- Arabic Zone

There will be some fun filled entertainment to go along and i am not going to spoil the surprise right now. However i will be tweeting some factoids on official Tech Ed Twitter account.

That's its for now, look out for couple of more exciting posts on Tech-Ed. Feel free to ask if you have any specific questions I would love to answer them.

Edit 1: Fixed the event dates.

My first session is confirmed I will be talking about 'Combating Software Entropy with Design Patterns and Principals '.

My second session is still in the pipe-line and hopefully its going to be a panel discussion on 'Agile Architecture', more along the lines of my current discussion listed in this blog post
