Clearly having more spare time on his hand than me (or maybe he’s just not as lazy and bad at writing!) Simon has written up an excellent review of the UK OUG in Reading:
Just like Simon I really enjoyed the event. All the speakers came across really well, and the presentations where excellent.
Personally I found the Visio one a real eye opener and I can really see me using this product in the future. I am still far from sold on Grove and I think like a lot of other people InfoPath is a solution for a problem that does not exist. (I know it’s faster than using Excel and Access or PHP and MYSQL, but that’s only in the demos!!). Has anyone else noticed how slow IP forms seem to run on the server too? I think I was conceived that One Note might be a “once bitten forever smitten” type product, but I’ll wait for the bite.
It was first-rate to meet and speak to some of the guys from around the web – well around this part of the web any-road. Particularly good to meet Simon (Murphy), Russell Proctor, Mike C, Nick Hodge and Andy Pope.
As Simon mention at the bottom of his post there is talk afoot about meeting up and going through some “proper” code, not a Northwind BD in sight, if anyone is interested contact me or Simon, or leave a comment – we’re not fussy!
