[Okay, I've been neglecting my blog for too long, but I have a very good reason - more on that in a later post.]
If you're in the greater Boston area this Wednesday evening, stop by the Microsoft offices in Waltham from 6-9 PM for the next Boston .NET User Group meeting. This month, we'll be hosting a Visual Studio 2005 Launch Event in conjunction with INETA. This night, driven by the community for the community, will be a great way to quickly grok some of the key areas of Visual Studio 2005.
There's a great lineup planned for the evening:
- Jesse Liberty - Forms Based Security, Roles, Personalization, and Web Parts
- Tony Pino - Master Pages, Site Navigation, Themes, and Skins
- Chris Bowen - Visual Studio Team System
- Richard Hale Shaw - New Windows Forms Controls and Snippets
- Chris Pels - The Data Binding Model in ASP.NET 2.0 for Databases, Objects, and XML
I'll be attempting the near impossible as I try to cover the main features of Team System in a stunningly-short 30 minute window. People who know me know I can speak for, well, a LONG time about Team System, so keeping myself from offering extra details will be a challenge.
It should be a great time and I hope to see you there!
