Tim Neudecker did a great job last night both in terms of material presentation and in shepherding the group through a roundtable discussion of system design issues, touching on:
- hardware/insfrastructure concerns
- application concerns
- data integrity
Some of the highlights included a discussion of UI metaphors: data driven US compared to task driven US, and hybrid schemes.
You will want to fast forward about 5 minutes in; the audio dropped at the beginning of the presentation.

Have you ever been too lazy to click twice and select Tools>Script Debugger when you were about to run a script from the Script Manager? I thought so, because I am. A quick shortcut is to hold down the shift key as you click on the Run button. Voila! The Script Debugger magically opens and pauses on the first script step.
