Thanks to Reza Madani and Mike Vincent for having me speak at the combined meeting of OC VBUG and OC C# last night. It was a packed house which was wonderful, but I felt bad for folks who had to stand in the back for 2 hours.

The audience participation was great. Thanks to everyone who asked questions or had comments.

Many attendees also noticed the tricked-out Visual Studio I was using during the presentation. That was from CodeRush and Refactor! both highly recommended. You can check those out here:
