I won’t be signing books but don’t let that stop you

Whereas Eric Carter will be signing his book (co-authored with another Eric) at the PDC. I have no book of my own to sign, but will be happy to sign the Erics’ book if you ask me to! You can catch me in the Fundamentals Lounge pretty much the whole time.

There have been some changes to my talk since I wrote about it last time. The lecture style is gone; the material simply didn’t support it. It’s just going to be a conventional talk against a series of slides. I sort of painted myself into a corner with my title, Five Things Every Win32 Developer Should Know: If you should know it, then it can’t be all that advanced can it? As a result, my talk is really more of a high 200’s/low 300’s type of talk. But maybe just collecting all these factoids in one place makes it worthy of a 400 rating?

Author

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
