I thoroughly enjoyed my presentation and the time at Day of .Net this past Saturday. Special thanks to those folks who attended my presentation.

Here is my slide deck.

This is a zip file of the code from the presentation. Remember you need the .Net 3.0 framework and the SDK for Open XML Formats CTP in order to run the code.

I will be speaking at Day of .Net in Ann Arbor, MI on October 20th. It’s a Saturday, and it’s a completely free event. I will be presenting Creating Office Documents with Open XML. I will be going over the Packaging API and how to programmatically create and manipulate Office docs.

There are four concurrent sessions all day long covering many aspects of .Net.

See you there!

I will be speaking on July 17th on Windows Communication Foundation. See the West Michigan .NET Users Group site for details.

I will be speaking at the West Michigan Day of .Net on May 19th in Grand Rapids, MI at Davenport University.

My talk is Introduction to WCF. WCF is certainly the understated pillar of .Net 3.0. There is a ton of great content all day long, and best of all it’s FREE! This is a great opportunity, don’t miss out.

I am giving a presentation March 15th at the Greater Lansing User Group .net about Windows Communication Foundation.

If you have worked with web services at all you will really appreciate WCF. Come by and check it out.

I will be presenting sessions at the Speaking at the Visual Studio 2005 Experience on July 28th. My sessions will be on Visual Studio 2005 – New Features inside the Microsoft Across America truck. There are still spots available for some of the sessions that day. Sign up before it is too late!

I will be giving a presentation at a Microsoft Developer Care event at their offices in Southfield, MI on January 20th. The event is sponsored by New Horizons and I will be talking about What’s New in ADO.Net 2.0. There will be two other talks as well, see the agenda for details.
