My thanks to Stephen Swienton, Greg Kane, Cory Smith, Todd Raymond, and all of the attendees from the Fort Worth .NET Users Group.
I had a great time talking with the group about the new features in ASP.NET Whidbey, and got lots of great questions from the group. I also gave away copies of several of my books (something I try to do at every user group I speak to), and spent a little time chatting with several attendees after the event. I know Stephen from several online organizations including ASPInsiders, and had met him on several occasions in person, but had not yet met the other officers of the group (though I knew a couple of them from online interactions as well). Greg works for Justin Brands, maker of a number of lines of boots, including Tony Lama. The meeting was held in Justin Brands' office in Fort Worth, and I have to say, it was kind of cool having a user group meeting in a building that smells like leather. ;-)
Thanks, too, to INETA, for sponsoring the event.
