DevTeach - Day I
I can't believe how fun this is.
I have arrived yesterday, and took a walk in Montreal, this is a really pretty city. The architecture is vastly different from what we have back home, and I can't figure out the walk/don't walk lights in the roads, but other than that, it is very similar.
I made a mistake and entered a book store (Indigo), I gravitated to the Fantasy section, and I spent literally two hours there, just browsing books. I am not used to rows over rows over rows of interesting books. At one point I started to just skim them, there were so much of them.
I got to meet a lot of people that I have only met electronically so far. We are having some really interesting discussions, and the sessions (I am sticking to the agile track) are facinating. I also discovered that I am very bad in remembering people's names. I will remember conversations but rarely names.
The best part is that just about everyone that I meet here understand what I speak, which means that I conversations are very high level, and a lot o fun.
I am doing two sessons tomorrow, about Rhino Mocks and about MonoRail. And now it is nearly the end of the day, so I am heading to the speakers' dinner.
Oh, and Roy really should put some CD* of all his songs.
* By CD, I mean a collection of MP3, of course :-)

Do you know if you sessions will be recorded (video or audio)?
I don't think so.
Good to hear you're having a great time. I didn't get my submissions done in time otherwise I wanted to be there presenting.
Indigo/Coles/Chapters rocks and is pretty common in Canada and the U.S. Yeah, you can get lost in there sometimes if it's a good collection.
Have fun and while you're in Montreal you have to try the smoked meat at Schwartzs down there (Dunn's is good too!)
