Went to the CodeTrip event on March 7th in Salt Lake City, UT. The topics presented was:

IE8 for Developers
Silverlight
Zoom Composer

Zoom Composer is really awesome, you can see it in action here at the Hard Rock Memorabilia site:

Talked to Tim Heuer and he invited me on the CodeTrip bus to go to Boise, ID. But I have a family I can't leave, otherwise Tim I would have been there.

I've been using the ASP.NET MVC Framework with Dynamic Data and the Entity Framework in my project for some new software (yes early adoptor). I think I could have made a nice demo for other developers.

Anyway here are some pictures:

The CODE BUS!

Inside the CodeBus:

Me and TIM Heuer (this guy had a hard time with camera, stood there like 3 minutes waiting):

Way to be so photogentic Tim.
