Sunday, February 10, 2008Perth .NET Community of Practice: First Meeting of 2008
The Perth .NET Community of Practice user group’s first meeting of 2008 got the year off to a great start, with a session on ASP.NET MVC presented by Michael Minutillo. It was well received, and we will endeavour to get Mike back for a further session on this hot topic. Thanks to everyone who attended and especially to everyone who helped out.
There were over 50+ people on the night, despite a clash with another event (‘Meet the Team’) being run by Change Corporation, and the fact that the announcement that we were going to have beer and pizza went out quite late! Bill Poole from Change Corporation gave a brief introduction to Change Corporation’s involvement with .NET development and reaffirmed their ongoing commitment to support the Perth .NET community. We are indebted for their support. Bill has also kindly offered to present an upcoming talk on Service Oriented Architecture. More details soon. Thanks go to Talent International for arranging and supplying the refreshments. And last but not least, a mention of all our sponsors: Change Corporation, Excom, Talent International, SoftTeq, JetBrains, Power Business Systems, Microsoft and all the publishers who are contributing to the User Group Library: O’Reilly, Apress, Pearson IT, Peachpit. |
