Yay!  One of my presentations was selected for the User Presentation track at ESRI Developers Summit.  It is called “You are Legend” and it shows how I created a jQuery plugin that creates an interactive TOC/Legend combination for your jsapi map.  I am kind of surprised it was chosen, since it didn’t seem like I was getting many votes and the whole TOC/Legend concept is, in many people’s mind, a big usability no-no.  I really did it because most of my clients want one and I like jQuery and I like javscript and I had to do something for the ESRI Charlotte Developers Meetup.  The DevSummit version of the presentation will be, I am hoping, much enhanced and a bit more polished, if for no other reason than I won’t likely be 3 beers into the night before the talk (the Charlotte meetup was in a pub).

Last year I thought the user presentations were really, really good.  If you want to network with other developers, attend as many of these as you can and then ask questions after the talk.  I know that I appreciated the questions after my talk last year and, as a result, have added Twitter contacts with which I can now discuss ongoing development issues.  Also, if you’re headed to DevSummit, let me know (comment here or @ruprictGeek on the twittersphere) and maybe we can plan a couple of pub-based nerd sessions.  Here are some of (what I consider) other interesting sessions:

Try to get to DevSummit if you are able.  If you are a ArcGIS Developer, this is by far the best conference of the year.
