Made me think again about MVC. Code-behind, we'll miss you!
Chris Leicester
As a new member living in Milton Keynes, this was my first visit to nxtgenug Cambridge and I was impressed with the location and venue and pizzas and high attendance and quality of questions and presentations and what more can I say. I'll definately be back.
Chris Leicester
Chris, you are a star. This was a very clear and well researched and prepared presentation. I can see that the preparation included code, snippets, videos and slides and it all flowed well even though pizzas were late. I learned a lot and am inspired to get deeper into this topic.
Adrian Pickering
Another top-notch and flawless event. I honestly can't find a single fault - the presentations, venue, organisation, facilities and, most important of all, swag were as good as it gets.
Adrian Pickering
Thankyou Chris for an insightful, frank and applicable introduction to Windows Azure. I now have a solid grasp of its scope and value and the presentation even managed to offer enough depth to get me started and direct me around a few pitfalls. It's presentations like this which will keep me coming back month on month.
Roger Billsdon
Nice mince pies! These are great events which don't take time out of the day and yet provide good practical information.
Hue Holleran
Very well researched and, as usual for Chris - excellent presentation. A lot was covered in the session - a great credit - I dare to think how much experimenting and trial-and=error was involved in getting to this level with a new product. Thoroughly enjoyed the session and will find it immediately applicable. Hue.

Location is excellent, this is my 2nd time going to the events and i'm trying to recruit more people from my company (hopefully sorting out corporate membership). I'm also trying to make other local companies aware of this excellent group. The only thing I would suggest (not that i'm interested in swag), work out some good questions ahead of time for the swag competitions.
Jonathan Handley
Just the pizza was late :-) Just kidding - this was my first time at one of these events and I was impressed at the level of the attendance etc.
