This was my second official conference and first time that I did two presentations. I had a blast playing Rockband and meeting a lot of Oklahomans, Texans, Arkansans, and other assorted peoples. If anyone is curious my slide decks are available at http://www.codeplex.com/mosslover. If you have any questions or comments I'm here to answer them. I am not sure yet how Silverlight version 2.0 will affect the SharePoint and Silverlight Presentation. I will try to play around with the new version in the upcoming weeks and blog about what happens when you use the new shiny things.
So my take on this second conference I was kind of drunk on the whole microphone/huge projector for my second presentation. It was like some insane power trip that you don't normally get to have. I wasn't expecting to present in such a huge auditorium like that. Caleb Jenkins is my hero, because that dude saved my presentation. I was freaking out, because I could not find the power attachment for my Western Digital Hard Drive. He went out and found Tim Rayburn had the correct attachment and my demos worked perfect. Ironically, it was my AJAX and SharePoint Presentation that was the worst of the two. I think that I am going to retire the AJAX Presentation, because I think 8-10 goes at it is enough. I added some AJAX Control Toolkit information for SharePoint and still it lasted about 40 minutes of the 1 1/2 hours. I am definitely glad I went to this conference. I will be attending next year if time permits. It looks like the next time around Yom Kippur will fall in September and not October. Look towards the middle of next year for some announcements based on Dallas Techfest. I promised that I would help Tim Rayburn get some of us SharePoint people out to Dallas.
