Wow! Thank you everyone for sharing your time during the August meeting! Based on the excellent questions, Anderson’s
presentation on “Workflow as a Service” was very well received! Anderson has already posted the slide deck, sample code and additional resources, which you can download here.
As promised, we are publishing the feedback that we received
for everyone’s review, and as a matter of record. The group leadership team will be using this
feedback to try to determine how best to plan for presentations in the future.
Without further adieu, below are the presentation topics
that were suggested by the group, along with the number of responses for each. As you can see, there was an overwhelming
response for Windows Workflow and Windows Communication Foundation!

We were missing some regular BizTalk attendees and also had several new faces, which might account for it!
Each of these topics is fairly broad by themselves, and in
fact, the additional feedback we received was that you want to see MORE DETAIL
and MORE ADVANCED TOPICS. The fluff is
ok, but you want to get to the internals of a particular topic. We hear you! :) We will work on fleshing out more detailed topics. In the meantime, if you've got an idea for a deep dive, or are interested in presenting yourself, please let us know at vpmeetings (at) dfwcsug.com.
Additionally, there has been discussion around dedicating a
segment of the meeting to hearing from someone in the group. This also coincides with some pretty
consistent feedback about getting the chance to relate your personal experiences
with Connected Systems technology. Whether it’s a chance
for an architectural review, an overview of how a particular Connected Systems
technology is implemented at your site, or even a “war story”, this will be a
spot for someone each meeting to share with the group. Once we get a format defined for this we will
be looking for volunteers to kick us off! If your interested, please let us know.
Until next month!
