« Utah Fall Code Camp - Nov 3rd, 2007 | Main | Customizing the ASP.NET Login Control »

I had the opportunity to present at the Utah Code Camp today on the topic of Regular Expressions.  This topic is near and dear to my heart, but (being my worst critic) I feel that I couldn't get my act together.  In part I feel that the presentation went very poorly; it was definitely among my worst.  I felt my explanations lacking, incomplete, or erroneous, my examples unsuccessful or poor, and my 'togetherness' absent.  It was a very far cry from a similar presentation I had given back in Sept 2006 to the Utah .NET User Group which was among my best I feel.  That made it all the more disappointing for me.

I guess on the positive side I've updated my RegexTester application and it's available for download here.  Thanks to all that came and participated.  We had a great turnout to the event so that was very positive.  I just wish my presentation hadn't ruined my day...it's been lousy ever since.  I guess you can't win them all.
