Spend an afternoon with Microsoft's Glenn Block

Glenn is in Edinburgh on the 12th of March - he'll be spending the afternoon at StormID's Leith office and you are invited!

The day will be split into two parts.

Favourite subjects from The Block

The first couple of hours will see Glenn focus on talking about his current work basket – expect to see him talking about Windows Communication Foundation, web APIs, HTTP, REST, MEF, Patterns & Practices and his experiences at the recent mvcConf 2 event!

Block unblocked chalk talk - your chance to ask Glenn anything he can answer

The second half of the afternoon will be "yours" - a chalk'n'talk if you prefer. It will be your chance to have an open and frank conversation with Glenn, to ask him questions, to challenge him and to get answers to those questions that you’ve been saving for such a celebrity!
