>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.

The database guy, not the actor ;-) Good stuff.

No, no issue with the post date, I was just late posting it :)

I think you should have attended Zwilling's talk, partly because the content of the other areas is more ubiquitous

On the sessions that have too much sales promotion, that is an issue going beyond conferences and is now affecting community channels as well.

Kevin Kline is very good. I now him a little (not well, just a few brief conversations). Yes, he's a definite blue-chipper
