Last two days I am here in Tech Ed 2010 in Sri Lanka. I enjoy coming to Sri Lanka for two reasons. One, compared to India developer population here is small but they are very eager to learn new technologies. Second, the local Microsoft DPE team is very innovative in their programs and their hospitality is awesome & very Sri Lankan. The last time I made a talk in the country was for DevDay 2007.
