#Techwave 2010 - Day 1: Holy .NET Implementation! Review the NET Stock Trader application – in PowerBuilder!

The first half of of Yakov's session on implementing the Stock Trader reference app in PowerBuilder 12, both in classic and .Net. Today was the overview, tomorrow he goes into details about the implementation.

#Techwave 2010 - Day 1: Tools Plenary

Dave and John did pretty much the same presentation as they did for the roadshow, with the exception of an additional app, a demo app one of their clients created for the world cup.

#Techwave 2010 - Day 1: Mobility Plenary

Three plenaries are going on simultaneously, so you have to pick one of the three to attend. There are two sets as well. Sat in on the mobility plenary among the first set. The plenaries are right next to the room we had lunch in (and were the keynotes were), so if was quite convenient.

#Techwave 2010 - Day 1: Lunch

Kudos to the people managing the conference. Immediately after the keynotes ended, the people serving food moved in. We were all served quickly and there was enough food for everyone (unlike LA, which is the only reason I mention it).

#Techwave 2010 – Day 1: Opening Keynote

The keynote area was interesting, it was set up with tables like a lunch area. Much more comfortable. The keynote was actually an interview of John Chen by an analyst, which helped keep it more interesting than a long spiel from a set of PowerPoint slides.

#Techwave 2010 - Day 1: Registration

Registration was a bit tricky to find.  The concourse is the lowest floor of the building (several floors below the lobby) and there weren't really any signs pointing the direction to it.  You actually had to walk through the continental breakfast areas and the table top exhibit area to get to it.  Registration itself was a breeze.  Even though there were only four checkin areas and only one was for full conference attendees, you just walked up and gave your name.

#Techwave 2010 - Day 0

Today was just travel to the event and the welcome reception. The only problem with getting to the airport is that apparently the highway department thought that crack of dawn Sunday morning was a good time to shut the 105 down to one lane. Ended up taking surface streets the last few miles.
