As the year wraps up it brings time for the atypical year in review post! While last year I declared to be the year of the conferences but of course this year was just as crazy with conferences. I… Got a Microsoft MVP award! Went to the USA for my first time to go to MIX11 and talked FunnelWeb at the Open Source Fest Vegas is insane and I don’t think I’ve ever been as hung over in my life as I’d been Hanging out with Glenn Block was heaps of fun, he’s such a top guy I got to have lunch with Scott Hanselman, Phil Haack and Rob Conery which was pretty awesome from a nerd point of view The pre-party also allowed me to meet some of my idols in Douglas Crockford, Dave Ward and Elijah Manor Next stop was Melbourne and DDD Melbourne where I got to present on JavaScript craziness And watching Steve Godbold rap was just hilarious Next up was REMIX where I spoke on being a web developer and had to do an impromptu session where I talked about JavaScript again (although admittedly I lost the audience on the second talk :P) It wasn’t long until I was back on a plane to get to Denmark for CodeGarden 11 where I talked about everything from ASP.
