Links from my Software Architect 2007 DinnerNow session

Firstly a thanks to all those who attended my session on Wednesday and to the good conversations that followed during the rest of the conference. Most of my session was on a sample application DinnerNow - and hence it was good to see that of the 70 or so folks who attended, only a handful had previously played with DinnerNow. Hopefully many more of you now will...

As promised, links for the various technologies I discussed:

• DinnerNow sample application to download (remember - there is a VS2005 version and a VS2008 version to choose from)
