The 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!

In July, our client, the Denver Botanic Gardens, holds a special annual event called the Birdhaus Bash. The event features birdhouses built by local artists and celebrities that are auctioned off to support Youth Education and Adult Tour Guide programs at the Gardens.
This year, 4 1/2 Indigians built birdhouses to the event. 4 1/2 you ask? Yes, 4 1/2. Birdhouses were donated by myself, Erin Quinn – Director of Sales, Wayne Rodgers – Client Services Coordinator and Mike Minton – Sr. Director of Technology. There are the 4. The 1/2 comes in from Brent Dilworth, who is the husband of Becki Dilworth – Vice President of Client Services. I figured since he is only related to Indigio through marriage, we should only count him as a 1/2, even though his birdhouse already received the most buzz and praise.
It was great fun building my birdhouse to donate to the event and I know Erin, Wayne, Mike & Brent would agree. I included a photo of our bird houses and if you would like to attend the event and buy one of these beauties or one of the other 100 donated, please check out the Gardens’ Web site.

Yesterday the entire Marketing, Public Relations and Events Team from the Denver Botanic Gardens came to Indigio and provided the entire company lunch as a thank you for Indigio’s support of their recent Web site redesign.
The staff from Denver Botanic Gardens went as far as to serve everyone lunch, so they could personally thank everyone. It was a very special luncheon and a wonderful way to thank Indigio. I know I was very appreciative, as were all my fellow Indigians. Read the rest of this entry »

Dale and I enjoyed the low 80 degree temperatures and sunshine with a trip to the Denver Botanic Gardens to check out the opening of their new exhibit Urban Nature. It is a very exciting and beautiful exhibit that combines street art, mostly spray-painted graffiti panels, throughout the Gardens. It is a wonderful mix of flowers, plants, art and color that all collide in a fascinating way.
Indigio has been involved in this exhibit in that we provided a photoblog to the Denver Botanic Gardens that services as a micro-site about the exhibit. Check it out at www.denverurbannature.com. Read the rest of this entry »
