.NET Rocks at TechEd Asia

One of the good things about attending TechEd Asia this year was meeting some of the guys behind .NET university. I met Mark Dunn of Dunn Training and Consulting during the TechEd event. This is the second time I met him after meeting him a few months back at the MVP Global Summit. He did a recording for the .NET Rocks audio talk show with some short interviews of myself and a few other SEA MVPs who attended the event.
You can check out the show at http://www.dotnetrocks.com/default.aspx?showNum=288

November CDNug session - Rules engine

Yesterday I did a session for the Colombo .NET User group (CDNug) titled "Using rules with .NET". The session covered the activities that are part of the rules engine on WF. The session also covered using the rules engine outside WF for standard .NET applications. I have uploaded the windows application that i used as the demo here

Merill is moving

The MVPs in Sri Lanka is getting reduced by one since Merill is moving out to Australia. He was the one behind starting the .NET forum and eventually the CDNug and has contributed a whole lot to both. It was really great getting to work with him both at Assette and Gateway. I am sure he will gear up to the challenges in his new work place and make a name for himself in Australia too.
Thanks a lot for all the help you did while you were here and wishing you all the best on your new quest
