I visited the Dallas DotNET User Group this past Thursday night. I was there from 5:30 PM (17:30) to 8:45 PM (20:45). It was interesting. This meeting was done at the Irving facilities of Microsoft. I got there fairly early and even saw some volunteers arranging the seats and tables for the meeting as well as the tons of Pizza being carted in by Papa John's. I had no Idea how many people where going to show up. The reason I was there in the first place was to see a presentation by a gentlemen called Scott Dockendorf.

A lot of people went � a lot. It was a friendly crowd that was very interested on the things being said and the people (a lot of Microsoft and Born employees) presenting and/or directing the event. Scott's presentation was very good but look like he had too much information for too little time. It may have been also better suited for folks who already do �Test Driven Development�. I had a lady that seemed �technical� enough and 15 minutes into his presentation started asking me some questions about what he had just explained.

During the initial portion of Scott's delivery he called on me to share my experiences using TDD at HEALTHvision and as a Mono contributor. I must addmitt that it was a lot of fun to see all the Microsoft Consulting Services dudes faces when all the sudden they heard me being introduced as a Mono contributor. :)

Well, the installer has been out for a couple of days. I had a conversation with Miguel about the installer and he not only liked it, but even suggested a new idea for the Visual Studio Add-in.

I leave Monday for Boston for a couple of days.

Maria is still studying her C#, and Monica went yesterday to Six Flags at Arlington and her mother tells me that Monica had a great time.
