Phew - just finished my first MSDN Event. Real developers aren't that scary!

I have to admit that over the past week or so I have been getting more nervous sitting quietly in the corner of our floor in TVP. You see, I have given lots (100s) of presentations over the past 3 years at MS, talked to senior academics in top universities, researchers with brains the size of small planets talking about HPC clusters calculating fluid dynamics for Formula 1 cars, had debates with students on Open Source and Microsoft, and yet when I have to give my first talk on Expression Web and WPF/E I start to get nervous. Weird.

Thankfully, I didn't run out of the room after the crowd tried to linch me. It went quite well and the audience asked some really good questions about the new web design tool - given me some food for thought on how the tool will develop in the future to handle the increasing demands for creating standards based accessible sites.

One thing I forgot to do was pimp the old blog URL! D'oh - maybe I should get a t-shirt made with the words "Grab my RSS" (maybe a bit of British humour in that RSS could be read out as Arse, or one's derriere). The marketing team might not be impressed but it might spark a few more hits to here :-)
