I am excited to announce that I am speaking at the Oklahoma City Developer's Group on December 1st.  I am giving a new talk geared at helping ASP.NET developers take the leap into SharePoint development.  This talk will closely tie into my recent Introduction to SharePoint Development (web part, user control) series of posts.  This talk will show developers what they need to get started and how to tackle deployment.  We'll also cover the basics of working with the SharePoint API.  The OKC group has a lunch meeting and an evening meeting.  I look forward to seeing everyone there.
