Spring Break Conference Presentations

Last week I spoke at the Spring <br /> Conference in Ohio. The sessions went pretty well, especially because I didn't bore to sleep the people that attended design patterns. The reviews were excellent - and funny -. I got a couple simply saying 'follow the white rabbit'. Anyways, I want to thank OU for the facilities and putting together a full day conference, 7 tracks, 20 speakers, hands-on classes, and only charge $35 cover.

Find below the slides for my sessions.
