Hands Down! This was the nicest venue for a UG I've seen yet...
They have an awesome "James-Bond" setup! The screen was at least 30 feet across!! insanely cool!!! I'll spread that word and speakers will go just to take a deep breath when they see the projector lower out of a hidden tile in the in ceiling, and the GINORMOUS screen drop down from a hidden slit by the wall in the ceiling... it was truly a great room.
The presentation was awesome too. Great audience, especially for a nasty stormy evening... and late pizza... but it all worked out well ultimately. I got to do two other mini-presentations while waiting to start, one indoors on new stuff such as Silverlight 1, 2, and 3 and WPF - the XAML difference, Expression Blend, and http://DreamSpark.com ... another on using "The Cloud" with "social networking" to collaborate and also using Agile and Telecommute in the mix. I explained how to connect on http://LinkedIn.com and run a collaboration that way. Well, I missed the minipoint of using http://Office.Live.com for time but mentioned to simply got sign up at http://Dev.Live.com and look at all the subdomains like http://Silverlight.Live.com and http://Maps.Live.com and others. But I think they are waaay motivated.
I hope they take my advice and pick 2 pals to LinkedIn with and start collaborating via the Internet... in an Agile way. They still have a long way to go, so getting started now is essential.
I'll try to post a link later to the presentation.
