During this summer I have been preparing a "special" session for an event that will be held in Madrid area around November 2005.

This event will be organized by ilitia technologies and Microsoft Spain and it's going to be a kind of MSDN Code Camp, the first camp in our country. There are some details that make it completely different from other code camps; first of all, it's going to be a more "freaky" event, with non-common .NET development and out-of-the-enterprise-environment development, because we will be covering Managed Direct X, Audio, Patterns and Xtreme Programming

The sessions planned will be more oriented to practicing with those technologies, including a short presentation (around 30 to 60 minutes) and then a couple of hours of hands-on labs with pre-built virtual machines.

Neither the final date or location have been decided yet... Sessions are almost closed, but they are not yet completely selected... Anyway, I can talk a bit about what me and Diego are preparing for our session.

We will do a 3-4 hours session on Managed DirectX 3D and use it directly to create animated presentations... Some of you already know that I originally came from the early nineties demoscene, and what I'm planning on this session is to build an oldskool demo from scratch using C#, .NET and all the power of DirectX... We will introduce the audience to the 3D environment, translations, rotations, layering, buffering and finally to demo effects and music synchronization. We are currently preparing a library of demofxs migrated to .NET and DirectX to provide the audience with enough effects to create a demo in the 4 hours we had for our session.

It can be to wide to cover in just 4 hours, but anyway it's going to be amazingly weird and rare for a Microsoft MSDN Event... Eeeyyy, and I forgot to say (eventhought it's not necessary) that it's going to be completely free.

I will post more info as soon as we close the details. Hope you could make it to attend. And if you have any ideas on topics for sessions you would like to see in events (this one or future), don't hesitate to let us know.
