All of these things (download links, PPTX's, etc.) are coming online. Unlike other events, we're doing this within a very short timeframe (we've been hitting under 24 hours) for each session instead of the typical 4-6 weeks after the event. Please bear with us - working as quickly as we can.

Brainkel
Appreciate your effort and hard working to bring those accessible to us

I was just worry no one was confirming the slides will be available for us, except the online videos

Now I see more PPTX and other resources, thanks again for hard working ...

Everything getting fast and faster, so our expectation growing as well, even if sometime unrealisticly we demand requests with rush ,,..... we still trust you guys to be on top

Thanks again

Sorry for a "frontal" approach but I simply must comment :

A :: loose that shirt for a god's sake !

B:: AZURE can NOT be pronounced AJURE (J as in J'taime) it MUST be:
AZZURE (ZZ as in aZZuro, aka "blue in italian)

Ok, I feel better now, thanks ...
