March 1? Did this mispost?
You will probably be disappointed in me that I passed on an opportunity to hear Mike Zwilling speak at the Dev Interactions conference in Orlando yesterday. I was tempted but stuck to the AngleBrackets track for the most part -- JavaScript, jQuery, and related JS libraries like Angular, Breeze, Bootstrap, and Gulp. Boy, does that stuff change fast. I am still new at it so it was like drinking water from a fire hose at times but I learned a lot. I did have the chance to see two living legends, Douglas Crockford and Ward Bell.
One of the few "other" sessions I attended (apart from the keynotes, which were disappointingly skewed to Microsoft execs pushing Microsoft technologies -- they do that to you when you take their money to be a main conference sponsor) was one on "Stored Procedures Best Practices" by Kevin Kline. The database guy, not the actor ;-) Good stuff.
