I'll be speaking at a couple of user groups in February.  If you're in the area, be sure to stop by.

Topic: Dependency Injection: A Practical Introduction
The focus is getting a good handle on why we might want to use dependency injection in our code, what it can do for us, and the tools that we can use to make it easier to use.

Topic: Get Func<>-y: Delegates in .NET
In Las Vegas, we will get a bit "Func<>-y" (and a little "Action<>-y" -- yeah, I know, it doesn't quite work the same, does it).  We'll be taking a look at delegates and how we can use them to add extensibility points to our code while adhering to the S.O.L.I.D. principles (specifically the "S" and "O" parts).  We'll also see how the built-in delegates Func<T> and Action<T> add flexibility and make things more readable.

Hope to see you there (or another event coming up this year).

Happy Coding!
