Visual Studio User Group – Introduction to VS.NET
July 14th, 2008The Denver Visual Studio User Group is meeting on July 28th this month and they are doing a special presentation introducing Visual Studio 2008. The talk is titled “Getting into Programming” and will include an introduction to programming with VS 2008 as well as VS 2008 tips and tricks for those who are already familiar with Visual Studio. I am looking forward to seeing some of the new things in VS 2008. I haven’t had an opportunity to use it yet, so this should be a good review of what it can do. I think this will be beneficial for those folks who are either just starting their .NET programming career or those who are switching from other (lesser?) languages and programming environments. It isn’t often that this type of group goes back to basics but I love that they are willing to do so. I know a number of young folks who would like to break into programming; I think this will be very helpful to them.
Of course, the great content isn’t the only reason to go to the VSUG. You may be interested to know that one of the door prizes last month was worth at least $5,000 and there were enough door prizes (most smaller but still cool) for about half the people there! So if you are a .NET developer or want to be a .NET developer – and you live near Denver of course – then be sure to find me and say Hi when you come to the Denver Visual Studio User Group on July 28th!
