Thanks to everyone who came to my session last week at the Microsoft TechEd 2008 North America Developer conference! It was really nice to see so many past students at the show and I enjoyed catching up with everyone. On Wednesday night I had the chance to hang out with many of the Microsoft MVPs and watch the Blues Brothers kick it at the House of Blues. Eric Shupps accompanied the Blues Brothers for a song, I wish I had a picture of it, I thought he did pretty well. :) I met Brett Lonsdale for the first time, Nick Swan's partner at BDC Meta Man, and we shared some great laughs with Rob Bogue. AC was absolutely mobbed during his book signings; it was really cool to see a person as talented and hard working as Andrew enjoying the spotlight. Thanks for the book AC! Brad Smith gave us a demo of his new Black Black appliance and we were all impressed. I only saw Stacy Draper, Scott Hillier and Bob Mixon for a short time, and it's always good to their smiling faces.
You can find the Site Template Package (STP) for the SharePoint site I used for my demos here.
The SilverLight and BDC Integration demo will be available soon right here on my blog, so please keep an eye out for it.
