I like the fact that there isn't any PR or marketing bullshit. But what would be really cool is if the demos were really practical and hands-on. Not just &quot;we've got some APIs, you ought to check them out&quot; - but rather &quot;here's something you can build, and here's how you do it&quot;. That kind of hands-on demo is much harder to do than slap slides together - I've done it at BarCamp and it's frightening how many potential things can go wrong (programming is a difficult enterprise most of the time, but it's not made at all easier if you've got people watching).&#13;" created="Mon, 10 Dec 2007 05:39:20 GMT"/><outline text="&#13;" created="Mon, 10 Dec 2007 05:39:20 GMT"/><outline text="PlugLondon should be more about building than telling - less PowerPoint.
