A strong second on Bill Barnards param statements!   I thought I'd done some decent work with Params until I saw Bill's presentation last year.  It was a jaw-dropper.   I realized that I was just scratching the surface.   I immediately glommed onto his techniques and implemented them in my own work. 
 
Yes, Bill is the MASTER param dude!  He makes AB stand up and dance!  And it's not just some minor coding tricks.   His approach the caching parameters and reusing them is a completely new approach.  He thinks WAY outside the box.  
 
Regards,
 
Dan.
