Atlanta .NET User Group and DataGrid Girl

I made it to last night's Atlanta .NET User Group meeting, as well as having dinner with Marcie (aka DataGrid Girl).  I don't get to these things very often -- I think this was my third total and second in the last year or so.  I was impressed with the size of the group (96) and the interaction that actually occurred amongst all us geeks.  Marcie did a great job -- I learned how to use the datagrid without enabling its viewstate!  Steven Heckler also gave a short talk on Regular Expressions which had to be the best explanation I've ever heard or seen.  There were also a good number of job announcements, which appeared to interest many attendees.  I was also pleasantly surprised at the number of people that knew who I was and wanted to talk to me -- and all I did was sit quietly in the back.  Anyhow, if last night was typical, then I would recommend attending if you are in Atlanta, although I still prefer going home to be with my family.

  • Yup, I tried to go, but the beach was calling instead. Glad to hear that it was a good session...

    Of course we know who you are! You have a MASSIVE amount of content on your site. Your site is a great resource for anyone that has a quick-cycle project that they need to get out the door without reading an encyclopedia. You've helped me out of a bind or two with your articles and research efforts.



    Keep up the good work. Oh yeah, thanks for the code review. I know you're busy and it was great to read your comments. I wish more people were as honestly critical as you, we'd have much better software out there if they were.
