Seems a letter I wrote to the hosts was actually read  and made it to the show -- Number #163 ... you can hear the entire show at www.dotnetrocks.com or just the letter at the link below.

As I wrote in my previous blog entries, I presented a talk on DotNetNuke Module development at the Toronto Code Camp.  As rank beginner in this field - public presentations - I was rather green. 

The reason I applied to speak, was a growing belief that I could do it and that a .Net community event would be the best venue to start (or end) my speaking career.  About the time that the annoucement of the Code Camp, the "boys" from DotNetRocks (Richard Campbell and Carl Franklin) were doing a road trip stoping at various .Net meetings throughout the U.S. as they headed to Vegas for the Launch of VS 2005.  Well as they spoke to each group, they recorded comments from the various .Net Community members.  It seemed to be an engaging group that, perhaps, I would like to "trade paint" with.

While I have attended several .Net events presented by the "East of Toronto" .Net User Group, I have not been to as many events as I would like .  But, when the Code Camp came about, I felt that this was the perfect opportunity to speak and contribute.  So I did...

Since DotNetRocks were part of the decision, I sent them a note thanking them for the push.  I was pleasantly surprised when I heard Carl read my letter... again many thanks guys.

The following link is just the reading of the letter ... Letter  but I suggest you may want to listen to any DotNetRocks shows.
