Well well well… one more day to go. Ok so last night after work I went home for about 15 mins then I left to go to the .net user group meeting at the UofC. When I got there the pizza 73 guy was just leaving. They ordered 10 pizzas. Mmmm… pizza. So I munched and waited for my other co-workers to show up.
The presenter was John Bristoe a Microsoft Regional Director. And the topic was web services. The first 2 hours were on 10 tips on using web services and the 2nd 2 hours were on changes to web services in visual studio 2005.
whoa… Mr. John sure knew his stuff, but I had no idea what he was talking about. He used every acronym in the book, and I really had no idea what they stood for. I think the highlight of the 4 hours was the pizza, oh and I got another Microsoft pen to add to the collection. If I had some sort of experience working with web services then I’m sure the presentation would have been helpful, but for my background, it was waaaaay to deep for this guy.
I’m looking forward to the next presentation with Dan Sellers. I enjoyed his presentation on master pages and I found him easier to follow. Power point slides really, really, really bore me. However Mr. John was a little more animated in the way he presented overall. He is a little hard to approach although, just because… well I guess it goes back to the fear of asking a stupid question. The way he would almost be sarchastic in his response to some of the questions. Like an underlying tone, “are you kidding me? How you could you not know? What are you talking about? That’s what I said buddy!”
Anyways I’ve probably critiqued the presentation enough, but that’s my point of view. Now I just have one day to go and I’m on my way to a 4 day weekend… woo hooo… so have a great weekend and I’ll see you on Tuesday!
C'mon GET TO WORK!
