South Florida .NET Code Camp sparks new "Architect Certification" SIG
What a great weekend! Saturday's Code Camp was a huge success in my observation. Although the sessions and content was the "reason" for the event - the attendees and speakers was where the real value was. I've been to many events in my career, and the South Florida attendees definitely win the award for "community". I was particularly impressed by the level of dialog both during and between sessions. There was a very strong energy around not only learning, but sharing experiences, connecting with new friends, and a sincere desire to help each other grow. Huge accolades to all the folks who produced and hosted the event - you know who you are. But more importantly, a huge THANK YOU to each person who attended. You, in my humble opinion, are the main reason this event and this community is so fantastic!
For those who attended my session, What's New in MSF Version v4.0, you can download the PowerPoint slides from here: https://www.quent.net/downloads/msf4.ppt
I also spoke with many many people who are very interesed in creating a special interest group (SIG) around the topic of "Architecture". I think we'll get this started soon - announcments will be sent out via Florida .NET.
