Just a quick note that I was suppose to get out 2 weeks ago (sorry Josh).  This Tuesday, October 7th I'll be in town and speaking at the TRINUG .Net User Group SharePoint Sig on InfoPath 2007 and InfoPath Forms Services.  For all the details please vist the http://www.sharepointdevelopersguild.com/default.aspx or http://trinug.org/ website.

Cheers 

Back in February I got asked by the N³UG to speak in September at their user group on InfoPath 2007 and Visual Studio2008.  I'm really excited about speaking there because I've got some great new material to share with them on building a framework with Visual Studio 2008 for InfoPath 2007 forms.  This material is brand new and I haven't had a chance to blog or speak about it so I’m hoping it will be helpful to someone.  Building a framework is nothing new because everyone usually does it when building custom applications but a lot of times there is a misunderstanding what can be done with InfoPath and SharePoint to make things a lot more user friendly.  The meeting is tomorrow night Sept. 9th at 6:30 pm at SetFocus' Parsippany facility.  The user group website is http://n3ug.org/ and directions to get there can be found at http://www.setfocus.com/headquarters.aspx

Hope to see you there. 

Over the last few months I've spoke at 4 different events and have really enjoyed myself but I hadn't got around posting my presentations and code projects because other things kept me busy and I kept forgetting to.  This week I'm at home finishing up some code projects and have found some extra time to spend on my blog and catching up on other things.

Today I got around adding a new page to my blog for the presentations and code projects and just a few minutes ago uploaded all my presentations.  You can find them at http://www.sharepointblogs.com/mdlotter/pages/code-camp-and-user-group-presentations.aspx and later this week I'll add my code projects to.  I've really enjoyed speaking at these events and meeting a lot of new people.  I'm hoping that I'll have a lot more entries on this page this year and mean years to come.

Cheers

The NJSPUG has launched a new website at http://nj.sharepointgroups.org/default.aspx and all the details and future details of user group meetings can found here.  As I previously mentioned that I'll be speaking at the December 19^th meeting and all the details are below.  Hope to see you there.
