With over 600 delegates attending over the 2 days, the large lobby outside the three conference rooms provided a good space to mingle, check out the numerous display stands (whilst grabbing a few free goodies) and scan the selection of discounted books on offer from O'Reilly.

    There were 34 sessions in all, however a number were repeated across both days. I guess it's hardly surprising as many visitors will attend just one of the two days, and it does give the super-keen amongst us the opportunity to grab more of the talks. (more...)
