Yesterday the Microsoft Heroes Happen Here launch arrived in Adelaide to be greeted with a scorching 39.7 Celsius. Fortunately I stayed in the same hotel that the event is running so I didn’t need to go outside other than to walk to the Adelaide .NET Users Group meeting on Wednesday night. Steve Riley, Senior Security Strategist at Microsoft’s Trustworthy Computer Group, was the presenter at the user group meeting and he presented a very engaging and entertaining session on security.

My session on Application Lifecycle Management with VSTS2008 went well and I did the session without wearing my back brace which I’ve had to wear for the past 5 weeks since falling off a ladder and managing to fracture my T12 vertebra. It was so much better to have freedom of movement and not have to wear an oversized shirt to hide the brace 🙂

 

 

 

During the launch series, I get to join Dave Glover and Andrew Coates to deliver the Visual Studio track. Here’s a couple of photos of Dave & Andrew in action!

Next week we’re off to the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre on the 19th March. If you’re in Perth make sure you get along to the event and say G’Day.
