WebDD Overview
I had a great day at WebDD today and attended some good sessions - which I'll go into more later. The Scott Guthrie sessions were hugely over-subscribed, but were recorded so I hope to get a chance to see them at a later stage. Initally not a lot of swag, but I got to leave with a copy of Expression Web as well as a pen and some magazines.
The sessions I attended today were:
And so there ends my first ever conference, I'm not sure why but I've never managed to attend one before. I'm definitely hoping to attend the next WebDD event, and also probably the DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper! events too.
The sessions I attended today were:
- Expression Web - an excellent introduction to a tool which looks great
- Doing it in style: creating beautiful sites, the web standards way - a bit too much content for the hour, so I'm hoping to see the slides to review the bits that were skipped over
- Quick and dirty Usability tests - one week, no budget, and no usability facility - an interesting overview of usability testing - something I've never experienced
- Ruby On Rails for .NET Developers - excellent presentation, great looking tool and framework
- Unobtrusive Javascript with Rails - graceful degradation of javascript
And so there ends my first ever conference, I'm not sure why but I've never managed to attend one before. I'm definitely hoping to attend the next WebDD event, and also probably the DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper! events too.

WebDD Schedule
WebDD tomorrow, and I'd read through all the sessions at the weekend and planned my schedule only to discover that it has been updated, and so my initial plan needs revisiting. Now I find that Glenn Jones clashes with Scott Guthrie :-( A re-plan is in progress...

WebDD
I've registered to attend the WebDD event at Reading on February 3rd. Some of the sessions look really interesting.
I'm definitely planning to attend the "Ruby On Rails for .NET Developers" talk by Dave Verwer as Ruby is something I've been trying to find time to look at for a while now. I narrowly missed attending the Brighton Ruby user group meeting on Tuesday, but maybe by the next one I'll have learnt a bit more about it.
I'm also likely to pop along to the two sessions on "End to End Web Sites" by Scott Guthrie as they seem like a good comprehensive way to keep the content learnt at my recent courses fresh, especially the AJAX bits.
