Calgary .NET User Group Silverlight Presentation

Good morning! Last nights presentation on Silverlight at the Calgary .NET User Group was pretty darn good. There are still quite a few things that need to get worked out in the beta for Visual Studio 2008, but it was cool to see it in use. The experience in it doesn't seem all that different then Visual Studio 2005 except that you can target different versions of the .NET Framework. You can create Silverlight projects and some other goodness.
I realized last night that I had made a bit of a mistake, when filling out the evaluation I marked 5's for most of the items assuming that 5 was a good thing. Just before handing in my evaluation I re-read it to see that...
1 = Strongly Agree 5 = Strongly Disagree
Ahhh.... Who made 5 Strongly Agree? I think I've been giving presenters really bad marks without even knowing it. I must come across as a jerk! So to all the presenters who received a bad mark from me at one of the Calgary .NET user group meetings, my bad! The marks are backwards!
Oh boy... that means this year I probably accidentally gave bad marks too James Kovacs, Richard Cambell, John Bristowe and a bunch of presenters at the Calgary code camp. Sorry guys, but honestly... who makes 5 a bad mark and 1 a good mark. Doesn't it make more sense to have it the other way around?
Last night Daniel also announced that on September 29th, 2007 we will be having the Alberta Tech Fest 2007 which will be a day of presentations for developers, architects and IT pro. Sounds interesting hopefully it happens...
