AADND Success

Well, what can I say? AADND was a huge success. I haven't kept close track of the numbers in the past, but we were pretty close to a record turnout. Of course, when Matt Winkler is you speaker, there isn't much selling you have to do. And he certainly did deliver. Windows Workflow is really going to change the way you architect your applications and you need to know how. Doing so with Matt just makes the process a bit more clear and a lot more fun. If you were in attendance last night, you certainly know what I am talking about. Look for his slide deck at AADND later today.

Just a couple of "thank you"s before I end this post...
