I caught Rick in Milwaukee a few years back: the combination of having Web Connection available to look at (it's worth upgrading to the current verson just for learning purposes) and it was great. Rick has terrific presentation skills, near-encylopedic knowledge of this area, and is still a regular guy, if such can be said of a person who lives in Hawaii 6 months to surf, and near the Cascade River 6 months to wind-surf. <s>

>I am just curious as to who will show up in Mesa, Arizona, for the Web Connection Training by Rick Strahl (which will be at the Southwest Fox 2008 Conference)?

>I played around with an older version of Web Connection several years ago, but due to a lot of distractions at my job (like work), I've not focused on this way of writing Internet Apps. I'd really like to get started this time around and I figured a class would be a good structured way to force myself to get with it. Here's the link to Rick's web site for this training.
