Last Wednesday I presented at the New York City SharePoint User Group and I want to thank the NYC SharePoint User Group and David Kozmo for the warm welcome and great evening.  We had just under a 100 people in attendance. It's really nice to see a specialty group such as the NYC SharePoint user group with the same kind of attendance that I'm used to seeing at our general .Net developer meetings here in Raleigh (TRINUG). It's a testament to the great SharePoint community in NYC and the leadership of that group. Although I ran out of time a little towards the end of the presentation I've made all the sample code and presentation available for download here. I also wanted to make a quick shout-out to Matt Ranlet from Atlanta who some friends of mine Rob Zelt and Brendon Schwartz had sent to abuse me, lucky for me he didn't take their advice!

Many of you had some good questions afterwards and I'm sorry I wasn't able to get to everyone but I'm going to do a couple blog posts in the next week or so on a couple of aspects of the presentation I needed to cut out of due to time constraints (the original presentation is about 1 hour and 45 minutes). A few attendees had some questions surrounding different techniques in dealing with updates to  existing site definitions & features (dealing with definitions vs instances) through feature stapling and feature receivers so keep an eye out for those posts coming very soon . If you have any questions on my presentation or things in general that we chatted about please feel free to post a response in this blog and I'll reply (or if its interesting enough - I'll blog about it).
