Ng elaborated that this year's DevDays focus on Windows 2000 is going to show developers how Windows 2000 will have an impact on their work. DevDays concentrates on leading-edge technologies that are important to developers. With the speed of change, this knowledge is critical. Even if they don't apply the knowledge immediately, they will still know about the latest technologies available to them for their own personal and professional planning and development.
Developers traditionally look at tools rather than operating systems.
Plus Pack for free to those who are currently using Visual Studio 6.0. This package includes the Windows 2000 Readiness Kit, a one-year MSDN library subscription, and the Windows 2000 corporate preview. Attendance at DevDays '99 is expected to surpass that of 1998. Ng said that through Microsoft Knowledge Capital Centre, the MSC-status company of Microsoft Corporation, more than 5000 developers have been reached on a regular basis since August 1998. We have a dedicated team of five to work closely with Malaysian software developers to ensure that they have the latest information and access to leading-edge technologies and tools.
