The Huntsville New Technology Users Group will be hosting a run of the .NET University in January 2007. It is currently scheduled for Monday, January 8th and Tuesday, January 9th from 6PM to 9PM each evening. It will be held in the auditorium at Intergraphs's Building #15.
You can get directions here.
Todd and I are currently scheduled to speak at the event. Naturally, he will be presenting the WPF session, and I will be presenting the WCF session. I am not sure who will be covering the WF and Cardspace sessions, but it will probably be Doug Turnure and someone else.
The material is targeted toward a broad range of positions and experience levels. So, this will be a great opportunity to get a general overview of the .NET Framework 3.0 technologies for anyone that is interested.
I don't think registration has opened yet. Once I receive word that it has, I will be sure to pass along the information.
I hope to see you there.
On Monday and Tuesday evening of this week, the Birmingham .NET User Group hosted the .NET University. Considering the relatively short notice and holiday season, we had a good turnout.
I delivered the presentation for the WCF Session. Being the rebel that I am, I used a modified slide deck to add a bit more technical content to the high level material. So, I am posting the slides for download.
You can get them here.
This is a little short notice, but a run of the .NET University has been scheduled for Birmingham next Monday and Tuesday night (December 11 and 12). It will be held both night from 6PM to 8PM at the Southern Progress campus in Building 3. You can get driving directions here.
If you aren't familiar with .NET University, it is essentially a free, community driven learning event to provide a technical overview of .NET Framework 3.0. It encompasses Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), and Windows Cardspace.
If you are available and these technologies interest you, I highly recommend that you attend. The material is at an introductory level intended for a broad range of experience levels. It would also benefit IT managers that are eager to learn a bit more about the next generation .NET Framework technologies.
Those who attend both nights will receive a .NET University T-Shirt, completion certificate, and be entered into a drawing for prizes. I think we will have a Zune and a few other goodies for giveaways at the end of the event.
You can register for the event here.
It is subject to change, but the current schedule is as follows:
Monday, December 11th
6PM - 7PM: Windows Workflow Foundation (Doug Turnure)
7PM - 8PM: Windows Presentation Foundation (Todd Miranda)
Tuesday, December 12th
6PM - 7PM: Windows Communication Foundation (Jeff Barnes)
7PM - 8PM: Windows Cardspace (Eric Ray)
Be sure and spread the word to your friends and coworkers. I hope to see you there.
