Last night I attended John Bristowe’s presentation A Lap Around WinFX (proof here). John is a great presenter, if he comes to your city I would highly recommend seeing him speak, especially this talk. For some reason he draws a bigger crowd than I do when he speaks.

I was impressed with the WCF portion of his talk the most, I tinkered with WCF on the weekend and it was a lot of fun but make sure you download the February CTPs (there is a good round up of all the downloads you will need here).

After the meeting a bunch of the user group members went out to Earl’s with John. From talking with him I like his ideas on where he wants to take the Canadian development community and I want Edmonton to be a bigger part of the community than it already is.

Some good links to check out to see where things are going are in the Canadian developer scene:
