Community user groups
The Indianapolis ALT.NET Meetup Group
Since May 2008, our fundamental goal is to help software developers obtain the education, tools, and correct mentality they need to become better developers.
The concept of ALT.NET means that we try to use all tools and techniques available in an appropriate way to do our jobs in the best and most efficient way possible. The Indy ALT.NET group is part of a national community devoted to finding the best ways to enhance software development.
To distinguish ourselves from a typical .NET User Group, we would like to cover some platform-agnostic techniques and technologies. We have talked or are planning to talk about Agile software practices, Clojure, F#, and Domain Driven Design. While much of our current expertise is with .NET, presentation and discussion topics are only limited to what people are willing to present and are interested in.
You'll get a chance to interact with like-minded group members by communicating your thoughts and opinions and presenting things that are important or interesting to you. Plus, free pizza and door prizes!
For more information, see http://indyalt.net. We have about 15 regular members, and are looking for more.
Join today!

Turning Guestimation into Estimation
Thu, 17 Sep 2009, 09:30 - 11:30 in Indianapolis, United States
Speaker: Michael Eaton How are your software estimation skills? If your answer was "dude, I'm terrible at estimation", you're not alone. Being able to accurately estimate software is a skill every developer should have but research and statistics show it's a skill few actually possess. In this session, we'll talk about why we have so much trouble with this key skill and then discuss some strategies for improving our software estimation chops. Food (pizza) begins at about 5:30, so get here early!
