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...

"I was also pleasantly surprised at the number of people that knew who I was and wanted to talk to me"

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.

Paul, thanks for coming out! I'm glad you enjoyed the talk on regular expressions.

By the way, the regular expression tool test tool I demonstrated is live online at http://www.accelebrate.com/present (and incorporates the feedback I received during the talk). :-)
