Tim Ewald spoke at the Vermont .NET Users Group last night on XML Web Services Tips and Tricks. Julie said she'll post the deck at vtdotnet.org. Tim was talking about Contract First, WSDL, nillibility and optionality, and I was thinking, "Holy Cow! How does anyone know so much about a .NET area like Tim knows XML and Web Services????" I don't know if I was ever so impressed with anyone's knowledge on a given area in .NET as I was with Tim's knowledge on Web Services.
And with some guys it's not just the obvious grasp they have on the topic, but the understanding they have on systems architecture and Big Picture. Bing!
Tim is such a natural presenter as well, just flowed for two hours, and a really funny guy.
Dazzling, really.
