I just got back home from speaking at the DevConnections conference in Las Vegas and had a great time.  For those that haven't been, it's a fun conference loaded with great material that is just the right size in my opinion.  I believe they had around 3000 people there this time around.  I spoke on migrating from Web Services to SOAs, new XML features in .NET V2, Synchronous and Asynchronous Web Services in .NET V2 and mastering RSS feeds using .NET V2 APIs.

I finally had a chance to meet Dino Esposito (.NET trainer and writer guru) as well as a few others that produce some great .NET related content.  The next conference is in Orlando and I'd definitely encourage anyone who may have considered going to attend (no...I didn't get paid to say that...I just really enjoy the conference :-)).
