Question: How many marketing representatives does it take to screw in a light globe.

Answer: None. They like to keep people in the dark.

As I plan my week at the Microsoft Developer Conference and VSLive conference that will happen in San Francisco next month, I'm not completely sure what all the marketing buzzwords attached to the various agenda items mean. It all looks fascinating, but it's a little like ordering from the menu in a fancy French restaurant. You don't want to end up with snail entrails.

So, as a public service, I've researched every buzzword in the agenda and they're here for your reference. The list is alphabetical. You can search (Ctrl-F) for these terms in the actual agenda reproduced on the last page.
