Well, folks, we’re getting close… Did my second session dry run yesterday and we’re headed in to the home stretch! Looking forward to seeing everyone at the PDC. For those of you who’d like to chat about VB, I’m definitely going to be in the Tools and Languages lounge Thursday afternoon after my talk, and I’ll also be at the Ask the Experts that night. I’m also listing the sessions I’m participating in below. Hope to see you all there!
