Seems like a lot of people are posting the sessions they're attending at PDC this year so why not join the lemmings. Here's my picks that I think I'll stick with. Going to be a busy week but looks like nerd heaven. Mostly slanted towards SharePoint (well, duh!) but some Architecture sessions thrown in and I'm sorry, but no geek can miss Anders Hejlsberg talking about future directions in languages. After all, he is the father of Delphi and C#.
