Why Microsoft .NET Presentation
Just thought I would share with everyone a Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation that I did a few months ago regarding what Microsoft .NET is to me and why a company should be interested in it. While it doesn't preach the Web Services Everywhere Manifesto I hear many people say, it does seem to hit the major issues that organizations have.

Helping the local community
I recently have gotten involved with a local small business organization. I have written an application that allows them to post information to a database about their business. That part of the application is protected by a userid and password. Another part of the application allows anyone to search the information in the database for a company with certain parameters. I have written this at no cost to the local chamber of commerce (Knoxville Chamber Partnership) or to those in the small business organization. I have written this with the hope of helping my community. Obviously, it is a .NET application. It is not pretty, because I am not a pretty pictures, flaming logos, twirling and spinning kind of guy. The artsy fartsy stuff is for the graphic designers.

Uncle Kirk comes to visit
Kirk Allen Evans came to Knoxville to talk to the Knoxville .NET User Group on 3/20. Kirk did a really good job. I thought that Kirk did a really good job of explaining the objects, when to use which object, and the performance issues associated with each object. That is something that not a lot of folks do and there is very little support in most documenation. Most people and documentation just throw the info out there like a firehose gushing out water and it is the reader / listeners responsibility to understand the performance issues associated with any objects. Throughout his talk, Kirk kept bringing up performance and memory issues associated with different objects and the places where each object would be useful. The bottom line is that Kirk knows his shit when it comes to XML and did a really good job on his presentation.
