Christmas in July- Thanks Addison-Wesley

I received a box filled with books from Addison-Wesley today. The next meeting of Vermont.NET will be an ADO.NET blowout with Mike Soulia from Kiss the Cook & Apple Mountain doing the .NET Newbie session on ADO.NET and then I will be doing one of my favorite new talks: What’s new in ADO.NET 2.0. One of the books I have multiple copies of for the meeting is the beta2 version of the ADO.NET 2.0 & System.XML 2.0 book by my pals Alex Homer, Dave Sussman and Mark Fussell (who is now the program manager on the WSE team).

Because they are in Boston, A-W was also able to pull through on a fast box of books for the first meeting of CNY .Net Developers which is on Wednesday.

Pulling out some stops for a new .NET User Group

Thanks to DevExpress for coming up with some great swag for the first meeting of Central New York Developers.NET.

Andy Beaulieu will be raffling off two of DevExpress’s extremely popular VS.NET add-ins, CodeRush and the language neutral Refactor!Pro for VS2005. Don’t forget, you can get Refactor! for VB2005 for free.

Did you know that CodeRush works with VS2002, VS2003 and VS2005 Beta2? Those guys are way too slick! 🙂
