Join David Wisniewski as he MCs the session designed to get users to share tips with each other. Audience members will be asked to demonstrate uses of Cascade that are innovative, solved tricky problems, or simply improved their websites. Have you made life easier for your content editors? How about used an XSL to brighten someone's day? Found a way to make data definitions solve all your problems? Has webservices rocked your web world? If you can answer 'yes' to any of these questions (or can think of solutions of your own), you need to be at this session. Many short demonstrations is the goal, so don't be afraid that you'll be "on the spot" for long - we want to pack in as many good ideas as we can!
