(thats what happens at the conventions )"
If last year was any judge, this is a reasonable summary of DBPro Conventions:
1. lots of sitting in pubs discussing miscellany - some of which even resembles coding;
2. very interesting and highly technical presentations by Lee and Mike - of which I understand about 5%
3. the Darthster creates some highly improbably impressive bit of code in 50 microseconds while looking under his seat for a pen which he just dropped;
4. RobK gives a presentation and proves, once again, why he was the winner of the 2002, 2003 and 2004 "Most Entrepreneurial and Hence Most Likely to Make a Million Quid First Out of All of Us" DB Community award;
5. the resident community bear gives a free presentation on a discrete legal topic;
6. dancing in the local nightclub. Bad dancing. Very very bad;
7. theft - I mean temporary acquisition - of traffic cones;
8. no actual coding competition occurs, despite all the promises.
I strongly recommend against them. Too addictive. Especially as this year we are promised IanM's karaoke talents
