01/10/2008 Meeting recap
A quick Meeting Recap.
Let me start by thanking everyone who showed up. Then let me continue by thanking everyone that actively participated in the discussion tonight. Lastly, I will end my thanks by thanking those that provided valuable feedback concerning the purpose and future direction of the JaxDUG ASP.NET SIG.
The meeting was informal at best. To be quite honest, that was the speed I was looking for. I presented a brief (non-working ;) ) demo on the ASP.NET Ajax Control Toolkit. Much as I had hoped, the group discussed Ajax and its role in ASP.NET development. I enjoyed more the round-table/birds-of-a-feather/get-together that took place after the demos were complete rather than the demos themselves.
Here some of the links pertaining to the presentation (these links are targeted for those who do not have .NET 3.5):
