Scott is being joined this year by Scott Hanselman and Brady Gaster and will present on the following topics: Azure, ASP.NET, SignalR, and Web API.
Seating is great but limited
We're back to the Scottsdale Center for the Arts this year... great facility, and happy to be there, but there's only 800 seats.
This thing 'sells out' folks, so sign yourself up now before you find yourself without a seat when the music stops... and by 'sells out' I mean registers... there's no cost.
I'll see you there, and
