This post was written in 2012. Technology has moved on a fair bit since then, so some of the tools, links and advice here may well be out of date. Treat it as a piece of history rather than a current guide.

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, Paul’s 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! ;)
