Last week, I had the honor of speaking to some very dedicated and smart people at an IT conference for men and women of the National Guard.
As you can probably tell by the above logo, the conference took place in Disney World at Coronado Springs Convention Center. I spoke on how using .NET 4.0 makes developers more productive as well as sat on an Ask the Experts panel.
I got to hear some interesting stories about some of the unique challenges military IT staff face: from working *really* far off the grid with systems not designed to work offline to the challenges of sending encrypted data efficiently to far flung places. It’s a very challenging problem space.
The Expo floor had some amazing things in it, but very few vendors consented to be photographed. This one only allowed me to take a picture as long as it was from this angle. That’s not the typical reaction you’d get from an exhibitor at TechEd or MIX!
If you know what a SCIF is, then the concept of “SCIF in a Box” sounds very appealing. (I’ve learned a lot during my time in DPE Public Sector
)
I even found a Hidden Mickey at the convention center.
Since it was in Disney World, I decided to bring along the family. It was also Halloween and my son had a blast Trick-Or-Treating at the various hotels in Disney.
