Speaking at Central Ohio Day of .NET 2008

I just got confirmation that I'll be presenting "Looking Out for IronPython" at Central Ohio Day of .NET on April 19. I gave a talk on WCF at the event last year when it was still the Cincinnati-Dayton Area Code camp and it was really a great experience. Not only am I looking forward to attending this event again, but I'm excited to talk about IronPython. The more I learn about Python, the more excited I get about the language. It's not any single feature that does it for me, but a series of small details. Here's one I just learned at Michipug last week:

   seq = "Central Ohio Day of .NET".split()
isInSeq = "Ohio" in seq
print isInSeq
>>>True

isInSeq = "Michigan" in seq
print isInSeq
>>>False


That code is written exactly the way I think: Is "Ohio" in my sequence? Elegant.
