Central NY .NET Developer User Group Kickoff meeting: August 3rd

Community Cheerleading

I’m really excited about this new group that Andy Beaulieu is starting in Syracuse, New York (www.cnydevelopers.net). That’s where I grew up (Cazenovia) and my dad grew up in Syracuse too, so I have a lot of ties there.

Andy has been working hard to build up interest and I’m sure this first meeting on August 3rd will be great. There will be a talk by Andy (who has been programming for over 10 years) and by the MSDN Developer Community Champion for NY State, Rob Jackson.

I’m looking forward to visiting the group sometime this fall and presenting (and visiting my parents!).

If you know any .NET developers in the Syracuse, NY area, point them to this new group!

new names? blah

Just Rambling

I miss “whidbey” but I still use that fond old nickname for Visual Studio 2005.

I really like “avalon” [Windows Presentation Foundation]

And where will we be without “indigo”? [Windows Communication Foundation]

After those light, airy, winsome names, these new ones are like sitting in a dark cigar smoke filled room with big leather chairs and a lot of fat old men chuckling about the stock market.

Boo hiss.
