Bueller?... Bueller?</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;(not relating to this post specifically - but VB at TechEd overall):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Very poor showing by the vb folks at TechEd - pretty much made me feel like I was wasting my time with vb. A lonely vb sheep in a huge flock of eager c#ers. Was this all vb had to offer - 2 out of 600 sessions? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BTW - this isn't a comment on the quality of these sessions mentioned, just that I'd hoped for more vb stuff in general. All the hands on labs were c# only.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Generally - I like vb, but it appears to be falling far behind in terms of representation, which is important to drive interest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know the framework is more important than the language, but still... :'(&lt;/p&gt;
