Q&A / Wrap Up

Bottom of Form

As you can see there was lots to see on the day. As a “tip of the cap” I have also included the sessions from those evil doers on the Silverlight track who seemed to rob most of our attendees for the day (well at least you guys can view the XNA sessions as well and see what you missed out on, Pauls Enthusiasm for one.

Be warned watching the XNA track, you better have your seatbelt fastened as we had a LOT of fun doing it!

Although I must admit I need to go and watch Laurent’s session on MVVM now for my latest project! Winking smile
