What’s FEST07 all about? <\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s all about \u201cInto The Future \u2026\u201d. We\u2019ll start the day in the present, looking at Vista, and then we\u2019ll jump forward a few months to take a look at LINQ, a great and innovative new technology from Microsoft. We jump ahead further in the afternoon, a year or so, with a look at how Dynamic Languages such as Iron Python are being brought into the .NET world, and finally we\u2019ll end up seeing how the home of the future might look in a few years time \u2026<\/p>\n

We’ll end the day with one of NxtGenUG\u2019s renowned \u2018game show\u2019 sessions where the differences between learning, fun, ‘swag’ and chaos become somewhat blurred \u2026<\/p>\n

It’s also about taking time out to get our heads above the parapet, get away for a day, learn some different stuff, smell the roses, eat some pizza, get some ‘swag’ and meet some friendly, like-minded people at a great venue. <\/p>\n
