TxDLA Session Reviews

Here is a list of sessions I attended at the recent 2007 TxDLA Conference.  Overall I found the sessions to be excellent.  TxDLA is a warm and friendly group and the atmosphere created there was fun while the sessions were very informative.  I especially enjoyed the "local" feel even though Texas is so HUGE.
