The meeting was a success.  Before leaving work to go to the meeting I checked the clicktoattend roster.  14 people signed up.  I was hoping for a smaller group for my first presentation but was none the less suprised and delighted by the interest.  The actual turnout was solid and all went fairly well.  Lots of good questions and even got corrected on one or two points.  The presentation went for an hour and a half and I only counted a few people dozing off.  Here is the slide deck for those who are interested.

The User Group has had strong turn out the last two meetings and I think we will be having a strong next meeting with Cory Foy on Ruby for C# Developers.  Used to be a half dozen folks sitting in the room.  I am hopeful a combination of good technical content and community are really driving the groups success.  I made a strong push to have more members deliver content and try to trim down on the Microsoft bleeding edge speakers.  Not that I don't enjoy the Microsoft bleeding edge content, but most people won't get to implement Silverlight or LINQ for a while.  The talks on subjects like WCF, Enterprise Library, Ruby, Extensibility Patterns, etc. seem to generate more genuine interest and leave attendees with value.

One more word of thanks for all who attended.  If you have any feedback, please feel free to email me!
