thanks !
As I promised in previous post, I would like to share my experience. here is the demo script I used in FAD2011. and I add some more information I got during this event in it. Considering they are mostly technical geek, so I paid more time on value convert, link, export during my live demo.
The feedback of this demo was quite positive
