Smart Client Presentation by Digital Architects - Jon Barcellona

I was very fortunate to have one of our local partners, Digital Architects do a presentation on some Smart Client applications they have been developing. 

Jon Barcellona did the presentation and it was awesome. A little information about Jon.
