Joe Healy has successfully shamed me into getting back on the blog bandwagon. Yes, my lack of blogging and content on the user group site is inexcusable.
A few announcements. . .
I have made major updates to the website. For one, we are rebranding our user group as the Lakeland .NET User Group. When I started the user group, I expected 6 people to show up. Instead we are a group that has outgrown two meeting locations and are now at USF Polytechnic. Thank you USF! Our old URL still works, but you can now get to the site by using our new URL: www.lakelandug.net. And if people can't remember if we are a .NET or .COM, I also have www.lakelandug.com pointing to the same server.
Because of our move to USF Poly, there is a new demand for 100/200 level topics. I am working on getting speakers who are interested in doing meat and potato topics on .NET. If there is enough interest in both advanced and entry level topics, we can actually have two speakers (the room has a divider).
Who knew that Lakeland would support a group of 30 strong? We are giving larger markets like Orlando and Tampa a run for their money. Our "secret" if you want to call it that is simple: free food, good speakers, swag, and WE NEVER MISS A MONTH (hurricanes being the exception).
I would like to thank Joe Healy for speaking at our last meeting on the features of VS2008 SP1. Let me just say WOW!!! There are so many new things in SP1 - it's a major release.
If you are interested in blogging on this website, let me know and I'll get you setup. I'm sure there will be some more major changes to come once our VP - Charlie Pell - sees what I have been up to...and what I have been screwing up.
Any thoughts on a dual speaker track or comments in general? If so, please reply to this post.

Re: Hello Blog - Getting back on the .NET blog bandwagon
Two thumbs up for dual speakers. Suggestions: - Programming 101, - GUI/UI topics, - ASP.NET 101 topics (since my interests are in web design).
As a 101 level myself, I took Healy's advice and am going through RampUp.
Pairing the 101 level topics with some of those topics and lessons would give an "online preview" to people totally unfamiliar with the topic and let those of us with a little knowledge brush up.
Is anything as intimidating as the fear of looking stupid in public, peers and clients? Suggested reading or review could ease some anxiety and help us 101 guys get more out of the meetings.
Wait, did I just sign myself up as a Lakeland.NET 101 blogger?

Mixed feelings
To answer Diane, I don't know if there's anything more intimidating. But knowing that you already do look stupid can be kind of liberating.
The nice thing about the UG is the feeling of community. I wouldn't want any developer in the area to be unaware that I'm a sarcastic loudmouth. :)
But yes, I could really use some of the 300/400 level topics. My coworkers and I are driving to the Tampa International Association of Software Architects meeting whenever possible, so we can figure out just how to design really huge systems, what security model is ideal for WCF, how to handle "temporary persistence" with stateless services, etc. I will scream the next time I see demo code with wide-open permissions and the speaker says "now don't do this in production". Be prepared.
Joe did drive us a little crazy with the extended session... we'd dragged the DBA along, and the "here are all the features anyone can use in SP1, even without EF, Data Services, and other 'enterprise-y stuff'" chased him off just before the 7:45 intro to EF, which is why we wanted our DBA along. So that's one case where splitting would've been useful.
But it really depends on the topic. ASP.NET MVC is just not that interesting to us right now. Maybe if and when there are demos that actually keep code out of presentation, and something like XAML is well-supported for designers to edit without mangling anything, and variables don't keep popping up in non-intellisense quoted strings...
Maybe study groups or similar for the intro-level topics? As an aside, for those thinking of certification, waiting for the 4.0 series (end of year) might be better. 70-536 (.NET Foundation) will no longer be required per Gerry O'Brien's blog, and that was a hideous exam. The relevant portions will be included in the subject-area TS exam (WPF, WinForms, WCF, etc).

cheap gucci shoes
Confidence in her answer to consider big is friendly and ready to laugh at themselves or comedy exaggerating her Brummie accent. Although her magazine is a forum for,
among other things, gucci sneakers cheap fashion, there is no big pretentious. When I asked how she started the season as she and
Jacobs, expect some extravagant response, she succinctly said, "Well, I will mark the other side of the BBM sort ... He will say:" You want to What? "I would say," href="http://www.guccicc.com" rel="nofollow">wholesale gucci, but I like the white ..."'
Big was born in Leeds and Birmingham, and her mother left grew up raised by her father. This is a magazine he bought her a new style of opens up a new world of her.
She wanted to be a fashion editor from the off. "Your Diana Vreelands, you Polly Mellens, your grace cheap gucci mens shoes, I
know them."
After school, she went to Central Saint Martins in London, but her second was down and she began to feel giddy magazine then-boyfriend, photographer blue confusion.
"You and education point, when you realize you do not really pretend to do," she said. "This may be a lot worse now, you know, nine grand tuition it?"
Dazed and confused, as the style of the 1990s one of the most authoritative magazine, and took her to the attention of a large fashion house. Her face, and in 1998,
she and her great friend Giles Deacon, when large, they were asked to be responsible for the Italian fashion brand gucci shoes.
"We can not believe they pay us to do this," she said.
She has been working closely with the designers. Surprisingly, she said, she mostly to provide them with a "sympathy." "There is a very large group of people, a lot of
money spent to make these together if you work with a new customer, you can not just women rain sneakers stand out as a designer or consultant, you just there to help
it out of the designer runway shows and responsibility end. "
This responsibility is not light. "Fashion is an art, it is the only art, you have to produce something that is not your schedule of a timetable," she said. "Many
record companies want Adele to another record next year, to her."
She pointed out that the recent introduction of two additional collections, the designer's workload has doubled - between spring and fall - before the fall and holiday
resort. "This is an amazing work, even in the best team in the world, you are still looking for everything and you are still involved in every part of you still check
you like the shoe heel, or should become a platform ? these decisions down to you. In addition, it is not your money, so you end up dependent on a company needs to
maintain its profits. "
She said that the designers of the pressure is obvious. "I do not know replica sneakers wholesale, but when he started it was
completely different replicia gucci womens shoes. He probably did not think he would deal with handbags or jewelry, I mean, his
collection of branches at the University of hair of the load; as it gets. "I'm not saying what happened is right," she continued, referring to the alleged anti-Semitic comments, see the mens gucci high tops of Dior and his own label launch. "This is clearly a separate issue, I just said, it can not easily be that he has it to Marc
Jacobs] for a long time ... enjoy it, almost, he has his head in one place , where he can handle the pressure, [know] how to spend the Lee [McQueen] apparently did
not, this is a great shame you just finished thinking, if things have been different, maybe this will not happen. "
Therefore, she said her job is to remind the designer gucci shoes for men replica, what they do is "should be fun." Show the night
before, you will find her to determine the appropriate shoes, Carmen Kass to a glass of champagne, when she was 3 am, playing the right song, when everyone's tags.
"They have become more difficult than you and this has been a few months," she said. "I just came in. I have a good bit."
