Dave is a Principal Technical Evangelist for Microsoft focused on Windows, Windows Phone, Windows Azure and the Web. Based out of the Greater Philadelphia Area.
Then come on down to Atlantic City, NJ for the annual Health and Life Sciences Developers Conference April 22-24th!
Registration is free, but space is limited. Based on feedback from last year, the conference is actually broken up into two half days and one full day. So you can come on down and play some poker before hitting the sessions later in the day.
Not only that, the conference is connected right to the AC Convention center. This means you can take a train from any of the major cities or airports directly into the conference.
There is a great agenda lined up for you. Check it out here.
Some of the sessions I'm looking forward to...

Biomedical Visualization using the Xbox360 Krishna Kumar, Microsoft The Xbox360, as the most popular gaming console to date has achieved ubiquity not only in homes, but increasingly, also in the hospital setting as an entertainment hub for patients by providing a positive diversion, allowing them to listen to music, play video games and watch movies or live TV.
