DevTeach Monday
Here is it Monday morning at DevTeach, and I haven't blogged for various reasons. But, here's what's going on...
- Saturday I was up at 4:00 AM my time to catch my flight to Montreal, going through Detroit. Pretty normal flight. Montreal is a beautiful city. I have been to Canada several times before and noted the signs in a combination of French and English. This is French speaking Canada and it shows. All the signs are in French...no English. That surprised me. The speaker dinner was Saturday night. Jean Rene took us on a bus tour of Montreal, going to the top of Mount Royal, which overlooks the city. Dinner was excellent, with a choice of several entrees. I chose the lobster and filet mignon.
- Sunday morning, I was again up at 4:00 AM my time. I had back-to-back COM+ sessions beginning at 9:30 and needed to do a review and get prepped. The sessions went ok.. not as well as I would like (for a review, see the Universal Thread report). My next session is the very last session of the conference on Tuesday. Last night we were on our own for dinner. I wandered up to Ste. Catherine's street and found a pizza place where I bought a slice. The evening keynote of Indigo was pretty good, telling us Indigo is...it didn't go into any technical detail, but told us what Indigo is. We then had the welcome party at the bar. I realized that my one slice of pizza wasn't enough for dinner and ordered a club sandwhich.
This is my first time in Montreal. The city is wonderful. The people have been friendly to me, contrary to what I had been told by a coworker who grew up here. Jean Rene has done a fabulous job putting together a first class conference.
