Indy TechFest ‘08 Wrap-up
I would like to commend the organizers of the Indy TechFest ‘08 for putting on one of the best community run conferences I’ve ever been a part of.

I need to either take this session and ask for two time slots to cover it, or just pair down the session to fit it into the standard 60-75 minute time slots. There is just SO much to talk about, it would be hard to pair it down. Here are the resources from the session…
