Today I went to attend the Visual Basic World Tour Session held here in Chennai (In India) . Alan Griver and Steven Lees were there here as part of the VB.NET Team.
Alan is the Group Manager for the Visual Studio Data group. Steven currently works as Group Program Manager for Visual Basic.
There was a huge crowd here. The queue for registration was so long that it went even outside the hotel premises. At one point people had to join the queue on the road outside the hotel. In fact Chennai has India's largest .NET user group- The Chennai .NET User Group. My city also has the largest Student .NET user Group-www.cnugstudent.net. The Student User Group of which Iam a member recently saw the 1000'th member. (it started just an year ago).
So not much surprise that we had developers queuing up for the event.
A dozen of guys were standing and listening as the entire hall was so crowded and we did'nt have space to put any more chairs!! Allen would soon post the photos taken in his blog.
