This is late coming, but I wanted to make sure I comment on this year’s St. Louis Day of Dot Net . It was awesome! Microsoft “Lightswitch” was introduced. I caught up to HTML5 technology, as well as many others, and it was great.
The yearly event was started in 2008 by the St Louis .NET user group. Many props to this group and the generous sponsors. This year, 800 people attended the conference — ranging from developers, architects, quality assurance, managers, designers, DBAs and other technology positions.
It seems that most went away happy, satisfied, with a better understanding and encouragement to learn more about new technologies in .NET, databases, website development, architecture principles and software development in general.
Also, thanks to my company for letting me attend these types of events. They are short enough to attend but provide enough information that I get my motivation re-charged.
