I presented a talk at the #vBug user group run by David Ringsell at Bristol. David in his day job runs his own venture known by the name of “Talk-IT” which provides training for developers. You can check out the catalogue of online courses offered by David here http://www.mylearningworx.com/default.aspx. In his free time David engages with MVP’s and community speakers to bring the best of new technologies to the Bristol and Bath Techies. You can check more details about the upcoming talk sessions at #vBug here http://cms.vbug.net/Regions/VBUG-Bristol/Bristol-Events.aspx
