Is it me, or PDC10 looks very strange? There are only two main topics – the phone and the cloud. There are less sessions than in 2009. And the PDC web site (build by Vertigo, who else) doesn’t even allow to link into session detail pages. I might understand such a limitation if the session chooser (aka the Guide) was build on Silverlight 2, because implementing deep links back then in SL2 required a little bit thinking. But no, the Guide is in HTML / Silverlight 4. Crazy…

Nevertheless, here is a list of sessions I’m interested in:

• Optimizing Performance for Silverlight Windows Phone 7
• Things I Wish I Knew Three Months Ago about Building WP7 Apps
• Creating Custom OData Services
• Build Outstanding User Experiences in Windows Phone 7
• Making Money with the Windows Phone Market Place
