Manchester VBUG

Since moving from Toledo I haven't gone to any .NET user groups. Last night that all changed as I went downtown to catch Dave Sussmen and Alex Homer talk about Linq and the MS Enterprise Library. It was a nice venue in a lively part of town (near china town). I really like how Alex had some problems with his demo, but immediately knew how to recover. In the process helped you understand how the situation could easily occur. He covered a bit on Partial Trusts at the end which would be interesting for ISPs or companies that bring in .NET development from outside companies.

Afterward we went across the street to a pub for a while. Alex and Dave are both great guys. We talked about religion in public schools all the way to round-abouts in "Americker" as they say.
