Well, tonight was a pretty cool night.  We had a really good .NET user group meeting.  We tried a slightly different format from what we've historically done, having two presentations rather that the traditional one.

Jason Walker, a good friend of mine and a member of the user group leadership gave a presentation concerning performance and optimization.  He decided to focus of tools and practices that tend to yield high performance and maintainable applications (should their advice be heeded) such as FxCop, Process Explorer, CLR Profiler, and more.  Though I have used each of these tools quite a bit, it was nice to see them in action once again and glean from Jason's experience.  I think that many members of the user group benefitted greatly from the presentation.

I was the second speaker tonight and decided to focus my talk on Generics in the .NET Framework 2.0.  All in all it was a pretty good presentation and was well received.

I felt that we had a very successful meeting tonight.  I continue to look forward to more in the coming months!
