Thanks to Reza Madani and Mike Vincent for having me speak at the combined meeting of OC VBUG [defunct link: http://www.ocvbug.org/] and OC C# [defunct link: http://www.occsharp.org/] last night. It was a packed house which was wonderful, but I felt bad for folks who had to stand in the back for 2 hours.
The audience participation was great. Thanks to everyone who asked questions or had comments.
You can download the slides and samples from my website here: OCVBandCSharp_AgileDesign.zip [defunct link: http://michael-kennedy.s3.amazonaws.com/blog/more-downloads/OCVBandCSharp_AgileDesign.zip]
Many attendees also noticed the tricked-out Visual Studio I was using during the presentation. That was from CodeRush and Refactor! both highly recommended. You can check those out here:

and DevExpress has some very interesting screen-casts demos here:
