Mike, I will be blogging from the sessions as per two years ago and I'll post a link as soon as I have something to post. All in all it could just be that Boudewijn's session alone will be worth going for and I'm quite excited about the possibilities.
My only comment is that if a small company like eTecnologia can come up with the goods then why oh why couldn't M$, but lets not flog that old donkey to death again! I'm looking forward to a holiday break as I've definitely got .Net depression after a fairly long intense stint using C# over the last few months. I absolutely love the Visual Studio IDE but HATE HATE HATE the vast size and complexity of the .Net framework. Yes you can do almost anything, but finding the stuff you need 95% of the time is sometimes a real pain and not so much a learning curve but a sheer rockface climb!
