  Professional Goals for 2006:
  

  • WilsonWebPortal to be Released Soon -- This was a hopeful goal for 2005 but definitely to be done soon
    
  • Update both WebPortal and ORMapper -- There's always more to do, but the ORMapper is very complete
  • Speak more at Atlanta groups and events -- I went from 0 to 1 last year, so maybe I can do several more
  • Write articles on my WebPortal experience -- Lots of custom providers used, especially with O/R Mapper
  • Start looking ahead more at the next wave -- Workflow, Indigo, Linq and even DLing, Avalon, IIS 7, Atlas
