Atlanta .NET Regular Guys : SharePoint 1,2,3! last week in Flordia with Dave Noderer and Stacy Draper

SharePoint 1,2,3! last week in Flordia with Dave Noderer and Stacy Draper

Last week my wife and I took a vacation down to Florida, and it just so happened that I was passing through Miramar, FL on Saturday afternoon so I thought I would drop in for the SharePoint 1,2,3! Level 300 meeting. How lucky was I to meet Stacy Draper? He was even giving the presentation! I also had a chance to sit with an old friend, Dave Noderer, who runs some of the Florida .NET user groups down there. It was a great turn out for the Level 300, but as I talked to the guys they said they had more than twice as many for the Level 100, which is something we found here in Atlanta also. The other thing, as always, that we talked about was having people put some kind of deposit/investment into the event to help the drop-off rate. They had over 100 sign up for the 300 level class, but not everyone attended.

The small extra bits of information that Stacy presented were amazing. These are the reason that it makes it more valuable to show up for a session for a couple hours instead of doing it on your own. Check out his book if you haven’t yet.

Hopefully the web casts of the sessions will be online soon so if you don't have the opportunity to see a session you will get to view them online. We should have them on INETA Live! soon.

The material you guys put together was very well Thought out. This is a great presentation to give. It was a real treat meeting you! It's too bad you didn't get a chance to meet Duray, he did the heavy lifting on this. I just came to help out with labs and the last presentation. We both appreciate David Noderer for putting people in seats.

I blogged a couple of times about the course:

The courseware is really put together well and covers all 4 of the different learning types. The course really flows well and has great information at the various levels, even if you already know everythhing about SharePoint. If you get a chance to attend it or give it you should jump at the opportunity.
