Oooh.. This is a great topic, and I wish I could be there on Saturday for this one. I guess I’ll have to wait around for the vimeo!

Thanks to everyone in attendance, I hope that you all got something out of it. Unless it’s to never attend one of my sessions again.

I noted some interest in XML web services. I’ll focus a presentation on that next time perhaps, it really deserves a singular focus. In the meantime, feel free to contact me directly with jason@emunications.com for questions and check out our blog at emunications.com where I post tips and tricks I come across.

Slides will be posted shortly, want to review them and add additional notes.
