Tonight's User Group presentation went better than last month's, though still not as smoothly as I would have liked. The demo gods weren't on my side several times tonight. Despite that, the event worked out for the best. We held the Utah .NET User Group meeting at a new facility (provided graciously by Digital Draw Network) and sponsored by SOS Technical; it worked out quite well. Our topic this evening was .NET Serialization. We addressed serialization from various angles, experimenting with Binary, SOAP, XML, and custom serialization. In addition we explored creating a custom IFormatter and even touched on versioning of serialized objects.
All in all it was a lot of fun and we had a good time. I wish I could have done better, but then again, I always do.
Oh, and as an aside, our gathering at Denny's afterwards is getting bigger and better every time. We had many people show up and it was a blast. I really look forward to the 'after event' event.
