Suggest new and vote on existing topics for Leeds Sharp – a .NET User Group based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.

Remember that we’re currently running on the FREE version of User Voice, so please just use one vote per topic as we are limited to 10 votes per user (on active topic suggestions).

Also please help refine existing topic suggestions by leaving some comments with more specifics and perhaps some useful resources on the topic suggested.

How about we talk about ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

    • Design Patterns by Example

      It would be great if we could get a handful of LeedsSharpers to pick one design pattern and just give a five to ten minute review of the pattern, followed by everyone coding an example of this pattern, then the next pattern etc.

      Would anyone be up for that?

      Alternatively, I have the InnerWorkings Design Patterns coding exercises and various books on Design Patterns. I'm sure between us we can get something together.

      This will be a good session for both, coders unfamiliar with design patterns and also seasoned coders already familiar with design patterns for deliberate practice.

                Sharpy the (iRobot Create) robot is back! And this time we'll be giving him (her?) some Artificial Intelligence.
                We'll be walking through building a simple Finite State Machine and looking at how we might apply this to a robot.
