Here goes the photos I took with my new HTC Windows Mobile phone. Sorry for the clarify issues because or 1) lighting in hall and 2) my initial photos with a phone… think I need resolution adjustments.

Well, the overall program was excellent even though there were some sleepy minutes. Even though there was limitations in time, the event went well. I must tell I enjoyed the sessions of Vinod Kumar and Ramaprasanna Chellamuthu  lot.

• Vinod Kumar in his usual style presented the subject with his usual smile :). Most of the the sql tricks he presented were not new for me but still they were interesting.
• The concept of Microsoft Azure was not new, but I had much ‘clouds’ in that subject. Ramaprasanna Chellamuthu almost cleared it and and now I have only development doubts exist. A big hand for the selection of topic.
• Uday M. Shankar came up with prototyping. It was interesting though. I will do a trial on Microsoft Blend SketchFlow in some day soon. I am still with Enterprise Architect, Visio and some third party prototyping tools.
• Renuka Alex on Windows Presentation Foundation. Absolutely old topic for me as I am on WPF for a long time now. But the session helped me to refresh the subject. Renuka is a good trainer and that feeling was there throughout the session. Keep it up.
• Praseed Pai’s presentation was very good even though the topic LINQ was old. It was also interesting.
• Kiddos to Jairam Ramesh. The topic of security was always interest of me. I think this is the only session I use to laugh. I liked the ‘static’ face of Jairam and way of speaking. Something different really. I expected some tricks on secure coding but may be due to the time limitations, I did not get. Anyway as he said - ‘no code is secure on earth’.
• Oh, Shoban Kumar – you are again with same old topics :). Hope you will come up with something new in next events. Yes, your sessions were as good as others. Keep it up.
