Just start doing stuff. If you want to make it fun, get an rPi with some hardware, make some lights blink, write a mini-server so you can make lights blink from a web page, etc.

Glad you've added that criteria.
Don't settle for average creations.

The sequel is worse.
"The plot follows a group of nuclear holocaust survivors living in an abandoned Nazi base on the far side of the Moon. Boarding a barely functioning spacecraft, they travel to the nucleus of the hollow Earth in an attempt to recover the Holy Grail from a group of reptilian shape-shifters who are led by Tyrannosaurus-riding Adolf Hitler."

You can see the Dev at Microsoft are excited. Scott Hanselman is jumping frantically.
I know of at least of 3 exciting topics (for me) that are (most likely) coming:
- Blazor WebAssembly
- WinUI 3.0
- Rust and ... WinUI? at least Rust and Windows API
They want us to register and join virtual chat rooms!
But, it's like the middle of the week, Ill be working and going home to relax... mm.. do I really want to join live stream (that might not stream interesting stuff in my little (time) window of interest in the evening....)?!?
I wonder, what did you guys do?
Anyway, I will certainly consume the recorded session afterwards!

Usually I don't watch those, and although the subjects are interesting I have no need for them at the moment, so the same as you: watch them later maybe.
Now I'm off biking as the sun is shining and the 5th of may is a free day over here (liberation day).

I have tried to read up on it and honestly I still have no idea exactly what it is...
Any idea of what it will entail? Will we get anything back from it that is actually useful?

Basically they will show case all the new technology that they are working on. Maybe release some of them right after (or during) the show.
I, for one, is excited to see demos and see code samples about the tech I mentioned.
But if you are comfortably happy with your tools, averse to un-needed change, and would need something really powerful that punch through your code and make it all magically way better, faster, easier and more powerful to even hope to stir an inch of interest... mmm... nah, don't think it's gonna happen, so you can safely pass!

I would be interested in something like that, if that is how it goes down. What I don't want to see however is a 48-hour "sales pitch".
If there was a more structured plan to it I might be able to justify dedicated work time to it, but with the information I found I guess I could just sign-up and watch it with one eye while I am working (no commitment option).

I registered and currently try to find out what I will join - time/timezone wise...

why register for the live event?
let the newbies and 'reporters' watch it and after see the comments / reviews they post.
if anything is worthwhile (based on the comments / reviews) watch a replay later.
- will anything in it be so life changing you cant wait a day/week/month to find out?
- even if there are amazing items, what about the hours of dross before and after that snippet?
the reason it's live is to generate [mostly sales & marketing] hype,
- first 9% of the content is introducing themselves
- next 90% of the content is there to serve the hype.
= 1% useful content left (minus the patting themselves on the back?)

Honestly I have no idea what is happening these days. It seems everyone agrees that new technology needs to appear fast and frequently, but I don't think anybody actually understands why they are doing it.
Yet another downside of such an interconnected world: the easier it is to reach people, the more effort we need to expend to make sure we are the most popular.

What stuff that was mentioned?! 
If you mean the technology I specifically mentioned as exciting me?
Yes then, yes I plan to use them. At least winUI and blazor webassembly. Rust and WinAPI, maybe.. if it's as easy as I hope!
But hey, if you are one of those people who still find WPF or .NET core intimidating.. I guess yo probably will not find it interesting...

Well, it's free, so I thought why not sign up. I'm pretty sure it will be interesting, but work might get in the way.

What I mean is I probably will watch afterwards....

Microsoft have produced a Rust variant of the WinRT 'language projection', which gives Rust the same access to WinRT as C++, or any of the other languages (.NET ones, Javascript/Typescript). It's something I want to examine more closely, as Rust is one of the newer languages I like...
