ALT.NET Houston Geek Dinner #2

I have to say that last nights dinner was a success. Although, I must admit I am easy to please. If I learn a new keyboard shortcut I consider it time well spent. For instance, I had no idea you could jump to type declarations using Resharper by holding the CTRL key and dragging the mouse around. It's really cool. ReSharper underlines all your types and basically turns them into hyperlinks. Conversely, a colleague of mine did not know Shift+Alt+L would allow you to jump to a file in Solution Explorer. See, this is why geek dinners are good.

Anyway, we discussed the Entity Framework Vote of No Confidence,  our favorite tools, and putting together an Open Spaces event sometime at the end of the year (beginning of next year?). To top it off, Jay Sawyer (a very cool Microsoft guy) was there, and picked up the tab. Thanks Jay!

Okay, that's all I've got, so I will leave you with one final bonus keyboard shortcut  (that I learned yesterday from my co-worker Eric Geiger who always seems to have cool tips): Holding down CTRL turns the IntelliSense window transparent so you can see the code underneath it. Ta da! How did I not notice this before now?
