Cracking Nugget - Fitted in 10 minutes, clear and concise, well handled questions (bit of Alan Elston in there). It's great to see the improvement - WELL DONE!
Raymond Starkey
No chips (I like chips) - and the swag is being avoided - do we need better swag?
Raymond Starkey
Absolutely first class presentation. The only thing I can niggle about is that he started with abstract detail about installing this and that and then showed us the thing he was talking about instead of the other way around.

James goes from strength to strength - great practical stuff.
Stuart Wells
Up to the usual high standard...could do with a little variety food wise perhaps?!
Ralph Manley
Guy maintains his high standard with another top presentation
Ralph Manley
Enjoyed the ten minute talk and liked the code being in VB.Net - nice one James!
Ami Bening
Another great one from Guy who gave a clear and precise overview of a subject that I need to look into but after this presentation I know the subject pretty well.
David Matthews-Gore
Guy was very impressive, delivering a confident presentation of a very interesting subject. I felt including the 'info' slides was a mistake, as it interrupted the flow, and thought that listed items that Guy wouldn't get time to go over was not really helpful. Maybe putting the info slides at the end would be better? I'm still not exactly sure where I'd use Data Services, but it definitely is interesting stuff!
David Matthews-Gore
Good presentation on this nugget, the content was relatively simple but well delivered. Having the samples delivered in vb.net was a minus from my point of view but the simplicity helped make this less of an issue. Maybe add some sound effects to the car example next time!
Jeremy Horgan
Great introduction / overview...I left buzzing!
Neil Jellis
Well worth the 160 mile trip

Event Breakdown
Guy Smith-Ferrier Microsoft Codename "Astoria"
The emergence of Web 2.0 technologies has brought new opportunities and caused us to solve old problems in new ways. AJAX and Silverlight applications need read/write access to data and business objects without performing full page refreshes and without dumbing down the data so much we are just left with primitives. Microsoft's answer to this problem is Microsoft Codename "Astoria". In short "Astoria" is a data access layer for client-size technologies such as AJAX and Silverlight. This session shows how it works, how you can write "Astoria" data servers and how you can customize "Astoria" to your applications requirements.
James Coulter The Observer Nugget
James Coulter gives us a brief introduction to the Observer software design pattern and demonstrates how it can be used in Windows Forms programming using Visual Basic 2005
