There wasn’t anything particularly hot in regards to DS. It is part of every offering that needs data, the HandsOn sessions where a trainer talked you through some exercises and you had to build them on a laptop have been full each (4 classes in the three days), John Schwarz showed DS in the keynode as proof how easy it is to cleanse data and load the new in-memory database called “BIA” - That was a big surprise to me. And DS related sessions have been well received as far as I know apart from mine.
Maybe I am just too deeply involved to get excited.
Anybody else?

I presented today, so I am going to break this post into two parts - things I attended and then what it was like to present.
