Meetup Event
o IEnumerable, ISaveable, IDontGetIt: Understanding .NET Interfaces

I'm speaking in So Cal at the end of the month. The topic is currently up-for-grabs. If you have a preference, visit the Meetup event and put in your vote. We've got a topic now; one of my favorite things to talk about: Interfaces.

Past Events
I didn't have any speaking engagements in December, but in November, I spoke at LIVE! 360 in Orlando, FL. I had a really great time and had a lot of fun. I was given a chance to share "Becoming a Social Developer" before one of the keynotes:

This was a great opportunity, and I had people coming up to talk to me about it throughout the week. You can watch the 8 minute video here: Becoming a Social Developer at Live! 360.

And you can read a bit more (including a great testimonial) in the December newsletter. You can sign up for the newsletter at the website: Becoming a Social Developer.

I also had a great time giving my presentations. The topics were very well received, and I'm happy with the feedback that came back. Here are a few of the tweets:

Thanks @jeremybytes for the great D.I. talk. This confirms I'm on the right direction for my current project. #Live360

Thanks to everyone who came. And a big thanks to everyone who took some time to talk to me. I met a ton of great people throughout the week.

Upcoming Events
I have several more local So Cal events coming up in February, including Pasadena, Buena Park, and Newport Beach. In addition, I'll be heading out to Las Vegas again to speak at DotNet Group.org.

If you'd like me to come to your user group or developer event, be sure to drop me a note. And feel free to visit my website to see if I'll be at an event near you.

Happy Coding!
