Friday Morning Sessions at #PBTechWave

The first session was supposed to be The Future of the DataWindow on the Web by Reed Cao. He apparently didn't get travel authorization though, so John Strano presented the session instead. The first thing he did was demo the HTML5 DataWindow.

Friday Morning PowerBuilder Enhancement Session at #PBTechWave

Had a direction that involved deploying to Silverlight. That's changed, and we're moving to HTML5. We don't know when, if and how that Microsoft will implement an HTML5 editor, so moving forward on their own.

Thursday Evening OneRepublic Concert at #PBTechWave

OneRepublic did a concert for us in the Pallazo Ballroom within the Venetian. Drinks were available for free. Perhaps half of the 6000+ people who attended the conference attended the concert. A good number of the half that did attend were quite enthusiastic though.

Thursday Evening PowerBuilder 20th Birthday Party at #PBTechWave

Thursday evening we had a 20th birthday party celebration for PowerBuilder, including a birthday cake.

Thursday Lunch at #PBTechWave

Finally made the provided lunch for both SAP TechEd and Sybase TechWave attendees.
