MTUG Presentation

On Monday this week I did a presentation on using SQLCLR to the Cork Microsoft Technology User Group down at the Imperial Hotel on the South Mall. It provided a simple developer based introduction on how to write plug-ins for SQL Server 2005 & 2008. The example I developed from first principles was a SHA-256 hash User Defined Type. I also demonstrated the automatic deployment and debugging features of Visual Studio. It was my first User Group presentation and I must admit that I was very nervous. Once I got into it, all went well and people said that it was informative and useful. Hopefully I will get the chance to do more presentations in the future. I also raffled off a MSDN premium as a prize for filling in the evaluation forms. A bit thanks to Joe Gill who handles MTUG who facilitated me to do the presentation.
