Thanks to everyone that came out for my session at SharePoint Saturday "The Conference" ​that took place this past week in Washington, DC.

I only did one session this year, entitled, Creating a Custom Gatherer for the SharePoint 2010 Activity Feed.  As promised you can download a hi-res image version of the 3D-animated mindmap that was used in the presentation by clicking the thumbnail below:

In addition here is the Visual Studio project for the Twitter Gatherer Timer Job.  And lastly, here are links to some of the resources we talked about during the session:

• Scot Hillier's Timer Job VS Project Item Template
• CKSDEV Tools
• Patterns and Practices Guidance for SP2010 Development

The conference itself was pretty epic.  200+ sessions over 3 days time with experts from all around the world.  As always my favorite part of attending one of these conferences is interacting with everyone.  It was great catching up with old friends and meeting loads of new ones!  The SharePoint community is so special and it's amazing to see people sharing their "art" with each other.  It doesn't matter if you are hanging out with an SP rockstar or just someone that is passionate about their work-- it such a cool opportunity to learn, grow, and of course SHARE.

In the geek-irony category, I thought it was hillarious that a group of us ended up at a bar/club one night down in DC called "The Frontpage".

Thanks to everyone that made the conference possible, especially the organizers- they did an amazing job!
