We are pumped to be kicking off 2010 with a brand new community web site for our user group, graciously sponsored by Softec and powered by the Couto Solutions Community Server Building Blocks suite of products. We now have the ability to keep our group informed as well as continue our discussions and archive meeting content and related information. Thanks guys!
This year is going to be full of exciting releases and product maturation from Microsoft, including the following:
- .NET 4.0 framework
- Visual Studio 2010
- ASP.NET MVC 2.0
- A new streamlined ASP.NET Ajax Library powered by JQuery
- The launch of Windows Azure
- Silverlight 4
- WIF (Windows Identity Foundation)
Clearly we have plenty of topics to cover in the months to come and we look forward to inviting speakers with experience in these hot new technologies to come enlighten our group and join in our engaging (and sometimes heated) discussions. We all love absorbing knowledge and talking shop, and what better way than to kick it with our .NET buddies once a month in SLO. As always, we hope to see everyone at our next meeting (Steven Griffith will be giving a talk entitled "An Introduction to SQLGeometry and SQLGeography in SQL Server")!
