DevTeach is coming to Toronto Ontario in just a few more weeks!

I COPIED THIS ENTIRE BLOG POST DIRECTLY FROM GUY BARRETTE’S BLOG and made one little edit! So shoot me! 🙂
 

If you’re living in Toronto and don’t attend DevTeach, [Guy Barrette says he’s] gonna beat you up and force you to code in Clipper for the rest of your life.  Seriously, DevTeach has one of the greatest speakers lineup of all the .NET conferences.

Honestly, where can you hear, see, talk to, describe your problems (IT/Dev related or not) and have a beer with these guys/gals?
