WF4, WCF and AppFabric Sessions @ PDC09

I’m taking this week off to catch up on everything I haven’t done the last two months and to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US.

PDC was a blast!  It was incredibly awesome to meet so many folks interested in WF and talking with others about how they are using (or plan to use) WF4.  I’ll be following up with a more detailed post on my talk, including demos and code, but I wanted to give a summary of the talks that came from my team at this PDC.  Below is the diagram that breaks down some of the “capabilities” of AppFabric and I have color coded them for the various talks that we gave.  All of the PDC Sessions are available online here.
