I went to the Cleveland .NET SIG tonight and had the privilege of watching Scott Hanselman give a presentation on "Zen and Web Services". First let me say that Scott is a pleasure to watch and listen to, he almost completely avoided power point slides which is always a plus. I think the presentation was pretty good, it is always hard to present to a user group because you have such a wide range of users and experience levels, but I think Scott did a pretty good job of including some stuff for more experience users while still trying to accommodate the newer users. I did see some people who really had no clue what was going on and would have probably appreciated more of a tutorial style approach to Web Services, but you can't please everyone all the time.
Probably the most interesting thing to me was watching what tools Scott used, and how his system was organized. Of course he is even more of a tool junkie than me, as shown by his list of tools, and it was interesting to see how many he squeezed into the presentation. (NUnit, SoapTrace, FileMon, VS.NET command prompt, and more) We also got to chatting about Codesmith on the break, which for some reason is not in his list of tools. :)
Overall good experience though, if you run a UG I would recommend you request him from INETA.
