As ever, Dion has an information packed session where information is readily digestible even when it is coming at you at 100Mph! :)

Lots and lots of great information on current web trends on everything you could imagine. Lots of detail consumable by all types - techies and product managers.
This session was sweet. I do RIAs with Microsoft and Java stuff, but didn't have the Adobe background. These guys gave us a great helicopter ride from the hello world to some pretty sophisticated apps. I learned a *lot*.
And, yeah, laptop battery ran out on me too. Kinda forgot how to write with pen and paper! However, having the examples will pay huge dividends to make this session remarkably practical.
Adobe has a convert. Thanks guys!
Whoops. Posted review of other session here. Where's the remove button? OK, try#2:
Hinchcliffe is a walking encyclopedia. I was drinking from a fire hydrant. Learned a ton, but especially got big picture stuff from this session. A wonderful synthesis of a whole bunch of tools and vendors and trends all in one package.
An insightful and inspirational talk. Allot of the content was new to me. My brain couldn’t keep up with Dion’s pace in places as every so often I had an explosion of ideas that took over my concentration.
Excellent presentation, jam-packed with information. Dion is an excellent speaker.
The only negative is that I thought he spent too much time on Silverlight. I suppose it could end up being a 'next generation' web 2.0 tool - I can only imagine that's why 20+ minutes was devoted to it.
Excellent! After a painfully slow best practices session by another speaker, Mr. Hinchcliffe's session re-inspired me. I will start reading his blog.
my review has been articulated very well by 'S' above... coming over from the best practice session I was questioning the 10 hour flight into San Fran! Dion re-inspired and blew my mind! and as a company we will be going to Hinchcliffe to pick that brain further! excellent stuff!
