For you lazy non-clickers – the concept is that there are five “concrete” sessions and ten “abstract” stand-by sessions in a “queue”, which will be “implemented” if there will be enough “delegates”. Attendants. Registrations. Gaah.

They weren’t kidding about that “by developers for developers”.

Just look at some of the amazing talks from the stand-by list (with a short comment from me about the lectures):

Alon Fliess’s talk Dive into the Internals of Windows.

I’ve had the pleasure of attending Sasha Goldshtein’s Windows Internals 5-day course at Sela, and it was a humbling eye-opening experience. There was so much information there I could not have possibly hoped to remember it all. A refresh could be me just fine. If you haven’t enjoyed such a deep review of Windows Internals – you at least owe yourself this brief review.

Ariel Ben Horesh’s talk Patterns of a successful application.

Ariel is going to talk about four patterns (or products) for client side applications (IoC, MVVM, MEF and Prism) which could benefit everyone who isn’t familiar with them. Personally I want to be there for the MVVM part and shout out that the ViewModel should NOT know anything about the View. My personal sort of crazy.

Dror Helper’s talk .NET developer introduction to IronPython.

I’m not a big “Dynamic languages" guy, but I agree that there’s room for it. I’m generous that way. I would have liked C#4.0 to be less dynamic and more contractual (less python, more Spec#). Maybe Dror would convince me.

Noam King’s talk Do it right - Building a Complete Site with ASP.NET MVC FW.

Again, not a big “web” guy, but I have had the chance to hear a great overview about Monorail from Ken, so it’s only fair to hear the ASP.NET MVC side too. :)

Oren Ellenbogen’s talk Rewrite your brain, rewrite your code; concurrent programming with MS CCR.

If you’ve ever wrote “new Thread(action).Start();” you NEED to hear this talk. Oren talked about this in the first Israeli Alt.Net open conference and it was a smashing hit. Many brains were re-written. GO SEE THIS TALK.

Roy Osherove’s talk Beautiful teams and code leaders.

I have no ides what Roy is going to talk about, and that’s exactly why I’ll attend. It defiantly sounds promising.

Vlad Azarkhin’s talk Introduction to jQuery development.

From the abstract: “This session is about improving your quality of life“. I can’t say no to that.
