For people from the session who wanted the deck, I’ve posted it here for reference: [ link to ppt ].

All of the 2008 demos were done using a simple tictactoe solution. If people are interested in this source, I’ll clean it up and post it back to this site.

All of the 2010 demos were done from the 2010 CTP: [ link to ctp download site ].

Thanks!
