A Great time at GLUGNET
On Thursday I did my COM Interop presentation for the Greater Lansing User Group .NET. I had a great time! They have a really nice group of people there. Good pizza and good prizes (an XBox!). Unfortunately, presenters were not eligible... :)
A couple of things I took away from my presentation:- Book Exchange: Their user group keeps a collection of books that other members have donated. Every month the collection is available to other members. Need a book? Grab one. Got an old book that is of no use to you anymore? Bring it in and add it to the collection. Very cool idea!
- At the end of the meeting, they had a quick session of "5 Technology Terms" -- five buzzwords that are introduced to the group and talked about for just a couple of minutes. Thursday's list included RSS, SOA and O/R Mappers.
- Lastly, I need to do more presentations. Sometimes I get too excited about a certain question and I either talk too fast or get off on a tangent. Practice, practice, practice...
