Today was DDD Scotland 2011, and as with every other year, after the all of the days event, I always feel inspired to start doing something new. This year has though, I have a slightly different take on things.

I was supposed to be speaking at DDD Scotland today, however on Wednesday evening, I came down with a spot of illness, (yet more migraines) and so, decided that I should give the team a heads up to this. We decided that, for obvious reasons, it was more important for my health to improve, and with the uncertainty of how the illness would progress, that it would be best to pull out and give someone else the chance to speak.

Fortunately today, I actually wasn’t feeling too bad this morning, so decided to pop along and be involved in the day as much as I could. I had to sit out a couple of sessions, but still very glad I attended. Ironically, the highlight for me today was Touch Me, Stretch Me, Squeeze Me: The Windows 7 WPF Multi-Touch Story which was delivered by Guy Smith-Ferrier. I say ironically as Guy actually stepped in at very short notice to fill the gap I had left in the schedule due to me pulling out. So thanks to Guy filling in.

The talk I had planned to deliver today was “A Step into Workflow Foundation 4″. I intend to still give this talk sometime in the near future, so look out for dates. In the meantime, I am going to write some blog posts around the topic, so at least some of what I was hoping to share today with the delegates at DDD Scotland, will still be shared.

So here we are. What’s new this year? Well, nothing less than this first blog post!

Many thanks to Andy, Craig, Colin and the wider team for putting on this event, and a special thank to all the speakers. Everyone did a good job, and looking forward to next year.
