It was quite a week in Las Vegas at the Microsoft SharePoint Conference 2009<\/a>!\u00a0 Wow, what a long way the product has come!\u00a0 I can remember several years ago speaking at SharePoint conferences and seeing only a few dozen people attending many of the sessions.\u00a0 That\u2019s certainly not the case anymore.\u00a0 In fact, SharePoint has grown so much that now the conferences come complete with live bands and fireworks!<\/p>\n

My wife and I embraced the 80\u2019s spirit during the beach party Tuesday night at the Mandalay Bay.\u00a0 We were surprised to find only few handfuls of folks were taking the same approach.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 On Wednesday Richard Riley pointed out to me that there was a picture floating around on CommNet of my wife and I.\u00a0 I saw the picture (below) on a computer near the registration desks later that day on my way to meet with the Patterns & Practices group and started laughing out loud.\u00a0 You can find all the SharePoint Conference 2009 80s Beach Party<\/a>photos on flickr.<\/p>\n

\"Rocking<\/a><\/p>\n

On Wednesday I presented the SPC 405 – Business Connectivity Services Runtime and Object Model Deep Dive<\/strong> session.\u00a0 I was surprised to see several hundred folks show up for a 400 level session about the BCS during this new technology\u2019s infancy stages.\u00a0 It really goes to show, once again, how prevalent SharePoint has become.\u00a0 You can find the code samples from the session here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As if our shenanigans on Tuesday night were not enough, we decided to renew our vows on Thursday with the King of Rock \u2018n Roll himself, Mr. Elvis Presley!\u00a0 Rob Barker and his wonderful wife Christine also renewed their vows in tandem with us during a hilarious wedding ceremony (if you can call it that).\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Several friends and colleagues joined us for the ceremony and made it just that much more fun for all of us.\u00a0 If you\u2019re in the mood for some laughs you can watch it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
