Los Angeles was super, now I hear "London Calling"

Los Angeles

Got home late last night after the WPF for LOB training in Los Angeles.  Jaime and I had a fantastic two days with Southern California developers and I want to thank each person who attended the event.  During the event, had many questions and exchanging of ideas.  Thanks again for your energy and participation.

Jaime and I will upload all the materials by end of day Tuesday, April 26.  I’ll post a link Tuesday evening here on my blog and Jaime will do the same.

London

London is very special to me.  When I lived in New Jersey I tried to get to London every year.  I have a super friend who has lived on the East End for the last 20 years.  Loved the people I spent time with there.

This trip allows me to meet WPF Disciples, Microsoft MVP’s and Code Project MVP’s and members that I have been exchanging messages with for years and never got to meet in person.

Looking forward to making many new friends and spending time with the UK’s finest.
