I was recently asked by a friend of mine lucky enough to attend PDC this year, "What sessions would you go to?"  Well, this is an experimental entry which I will keep updated with my "PDC Wishlist"  What sessions I would attend and maybe even why.

• Chris Anderson's Avalon Talk -- Chris, whose weblog is the reason I blog today, is the original author of BlogX.  "What is Avalon?" you ask?
• Don Box's Indigo Talks -- I see Don Box's name everywhere.  He's had some great insights in his blog.  Click to talk link to get an overview of what Indigo is.
• Chris Sells if he's speaking -- He shows up on the speakers list, but doesn't appear to have a talk registered.  What's up with that?  Maybe I just haven't looked deep enough since I'm not actually going.  He's big on Longhorn, the next version of Windows.
• Anders Hejlsberg's C# language enhancements talk.  This will give us the goods on generics and the other goodies they're adding like anonymous delegates, iterators, etc.
• Anything else about Whidbey (next VS.NET/framework release).  I haven't found out who's doing sessions on this, but it should be a huge part of the PDC.  Generics will steal the show, but there's alot of other nifties in there as well
• I'm not that interested in Yukon (next SQL Server), but if I had leftover time, I'd make some sessions on that.
• I would definitely try to meet Miguel de Icaza.  He's head dude at Ximian which was recently aquired by Novell.  He wrote the Gnome desktop for Linux.  He's a fan of the CLR and heads the Mono project which is an open-source implementation of the CLR primarily targeted at Linux.  He's bound to be around somewhere.

I'll keep this list updated as I think/find more topics I'm interested in.  If anyone else has ideas on what's important to see, feel free to comment.
