Monday, March 30th I will be presenting during the second half of the .NET Users Group meeting and Microsoft’s office in Creve Coeur.  Come out for both Stan Brooks presentation on "Users are Losers!" and mine on "The Software Architects Creed".  This will be the first meeting where we are trying the new format as well as introducing the architecture track.  I’m very excited to be a part of this and look forward to delivering my talk.

Abstract of "The Software Architects Creed" from The St. Louis .NET User Group Homepage:

Solid software architecture is emerging as one of many key factors to successful software projects. While there is great debate on which patterns are best or what tools to use, one factor remains the same: Creating solid software architectures requires a technical leader with the IT and business know how. The Software Architects Creed distills nine key points that when applied will help take your software to the next level. If you are a seasoned architect or a developer wanting to better understand architecture, the creed will provide you with action statements that you can take with you and apply daily to your job.

Hope to see you there!
