Last night I did my first stop on the Mix it Up! tour: the Indy NDA group in Indianapolis, IN. These guys have got it made. They have an absolutely fantastic group of people, a great location, and a TON of swag at every meeting. I was pleased to be bringing some t-shirts and copies of Expression Studio only to show up abd find 20 books, a webcam, and various other nice prices already on the swag table.
These guys are hard-core too: Their attendance is 120 people and up for every event, and they hold various SIG groups right after the main user group meeting. After I did the Mix it up content they invited me into their Architecture SIG meeting to discuss the MVC pattern and we ended up talking about map reduce and the Parallel Extensions for the .net framework. Thanks, guys, for having me, and maybe I’ll be back again.
