PDC 2010 Sessions

You can view PDC 2010 sessions online at microsoftpdc.com , but you can also download sessions to view later or copy over to your windows 7 phone Smile

The sessions info is all online in one nice big XML file :
http://videoak.microsoftpdc.com/pdc_schedule/Schedule.xml

Just scroll down or search for <DownloadableContent>

Or if you want you can run some XLinq on it to make it into a nice html doc. Here’s my quick and dirty attempt: 

 Dim doc = XDocument.Load("http://videoak.microsoftpdc.com/pdc_schedule/Schedule.xml")
 
 Dim sessions = doc...<Session>
 
 Dim output = <html><body>
                  <%= From sess In sessions Select
                     <div><strong><%= sess.@Code %><%= " " %><%= sess.<ShortTitle>.Value %></strong>
                        <blockquote>
                           <%= sess.<FullDescription>.Value %>
                           <ul>
                              <%= From content In sess...<Content> Select
                                 <a href=<%= content.@Url %>><li><%= content.@Title %></li></a>
                               %>
                            </ul>
                        </blockquote>
                      </div>
                   %>
              </body></html>
 
IO.File.WriteAllText(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop) & 
                           "\session.html", output.ToString)
