On Tuesday night of this week I had the opportunity to present to the San Luis Obispo .NET User Group. This is a new .NET focused group in the central coast of California an aria I have only driven through at break neck speeds to get to San Francisco or back home so I was looking forward to seeing a little of the place.

The group is run by Robert Hope who has done a great job of building a community of people who are interested in .NET. The people at the meeting were quite interesting and had some great questions. I presented on the ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions and ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit. This was the first time I presented anything about ajax and I was impressed how well received it was received. For the demo pillaged the great content that Steve Marx did in blog post Bad AJAX jokes, good AJAX sample I also had a slide deck but it was not much if you want to see it you can get a pdf of it here.

As an aside after the meeting some of us when out for a drink and they suggested a place downtown called Mothers Tavern but a Linsey Lohan movie was being shot downtown and Mothers was rented out for crew catering. But it was quite surreal seeing how many people were just trying to get a look at Linsey Lohan... If you don't offend easily then checkout what Foamy has to say about celebrates. Yes I feel the same way he dose!
