St. Louis Day of .NET is over. It was a two day conference that was held in the Ameristar Casino in St. Charles, MO.
The conference started with Jumpstart events ... which are basically introductions. Each sessions were 1 hour 15 minutes long and the topics covered were awesome. WCF, Silverlight, Architecture and Patterns, C#, MVC, DotNetNuke, LINQ, and many more. I believe that there were over 40 sessions. Some of the sessions were repeated, which is great, as it allows you the opportunity to attend it if you missed the first session.
One of the things that I really liked about this event compared to other events like VS Live, was the ability to talk to the speakers. They were just hanging around talking with folks. It did not seem like I had that opportunity to do that at VS Live. I had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Phil Japikse, Mr. Lee Brandt, Mr. Chris Deweese, Mr Kevin Grosnicklaus, Mr. Jeff Fattic, and Mr. Dan Rigsby, just to name a few. I also had the opportunity to meet and talk with Mr. Jeff Strauss, who happens to be one of the organizers of this wonderful event.
If you were not able to attend this event this year, please plan on checking it out next year. I will be providing the information on here. For the organizers and speakers that just happens to be seeing this blog, I want to thank you for making this a great conference. Top class event. Looking forward to next year.
