Last year, I watched a fair number of videos from PDC 2008, took notes, and planned on writing a series of well written blog posts. Who was I kidding, I don’t write well written posts, and I never looked at the notes after the fact.
This year, I’m again watching videos and taking notes, but this time, I’m going to post my raw notes. I do this for two reasons, like most posts on my blog, it serves as a reference for myself that I can query from anywhere. The second reason, is that maybe someone will find something of interest in my notes and can then go watch 1 or 2 session videos instead of wondering which ones they should watch.
I will try to stick to some conventions while note taking, so far I have:
- When possible, write down the Session Code and Title
- My comments based on opinion or random thoughts will be in italics
- If I have time, I may look into certain things myself, like new features of Visual Studio. These will be under a bullet point of something like My Test, or My Demo
The first three posts I did, the notes were originally in OneNote, but the formatting didn’t come over as nicely as I had hoped. Subsequent posts I did entirely in Live Writer so the formatting was a little better.
