Hi John,
Glad you enjoyed Portland. Sorry I didn't get to see you. I was just there this week for a meeting too. It was absolutely beautiful. You would probably enjoy living there. (for awhile) Lots of action and only a short drive to the coast and other places to get out and enjoy nature. But a word of caution, it rains there. Alot. Portlanders get used to it I guess and may deny it, but I know where you come from. Thats why I stay on the other end of the state.

The guy who was correcting my code issues during my presentation was Mark Jaquith. You can find him on twitter @markjaquith.

I do plan on updating the code and making it available for download, but I just haven't had the time since returning from Portland.

Well I've watched it several times now & my only issue is that I didn't catch who to follow or what their name was as I wanted to learn from that & see what was wrong. To bad your video isn't subtitled on wordpress.tv at this point. Maybe update the page with the plugin so that the plugin has a comment about what not to do.

John,

I just watched your video on the basics of building a Wordpress plug-in. I just wanted to say thanks! It's good stuff!

Hey, we really don't ask just anybody. Your presentation did a great job of spanning the needs of the audience, from people relatively new to plug-ins to those who had designed their own. I don't know that I will ever build a plug-in, but it's good knowing now that I can.

I just wanted to say a collective THANK YOU for all the awesome comments. I am very much looking forward to coming back to Portland. If I do, let's all get together for a beer! Sound good?

I couldn't have written it better…my thoughts exactly. We were actually throwing around the idea of moving after the trip to Portland this weekend….such a nice place. As always, good to see you and we had a great time at WordCamp as well.

John,
Your presentation was excellent. So nice to have a guest who feels comfortable in front of an audience and has the material down cold. It was my first time in Portland, too – other than just driving through – and I have to say I share your impression. Great public transit, really nice people, an awesome WordPress community, and Matt Mullenweg just happens to stop by every now and then. What more could you want? Hope to see you there next year!

Ahhh…. we loved having you here! It was great meeting you this weekend. And one of the reasons that discussion about affiliate marketing was so good was yours, and others', contributions to it!
Have a great WordCamp Vegas! I'll be wearing my new shirt in your honor. (Is it possible to get another? *grin*)
