Rather than our regular monthly business meeting, Vermont Software Developer Alliance (VTSDA) is going to enjoy one of he very special things in Vermont tonight. We will board the Spirit of the Ethan Allen for an evening cocktail and networking cruise on Lake Champlain. For those of you unfamiliar with Vermont, Lake Champlain is huge – 120 miles long and 10 miles wide at Burlington. The weather forecast is perfect, so we have lucked out. (For those of you unfamiliar with Vermont, you just can never know what to expect with the weather!)

NYC .NET Developers User Group tomorrow night!
I’m psyched to be hopping down to NYC tomorrow do an INETA sponsored presentation at NYCdotNETDev. I lived in New York from 1983 to 1991 (as you can imagine, my impressionable 20’s), so it’s fun to go back once in a while. I plan to spend Friday at the MOMA and eating great food with friends before taking a late night flight back to Burlington. It’s only a one hour flight, so it’s a nice and easy trip.
I’ll be presenting on Query Notifications, a topic near and dear to my heart. Most user groups find this a little narrow no matter how fascinating I find it! 🙂 So I’m happy that these guys were interested in this talk.
Are we Application Builders or Developers?
More thoughts about where the line is between what we expect from our tools and when we are willing to roll up our sleeve and muck around in the APIs ourselves…. [read more here…]

New Microsoft Gold Partner in Vermont
Congratulations to Jim Smith and EQ2 for their recent award of Microsoft Gold Certified Partner! EQ2 creates solutions for the health care field. Health care software is big business in Vermont. Thanks to IDX (now G.E. Healthcare), a lot of talented people have spun up related businesses here.
There are now five Gold Partners in our tiny little state Vermont.
I was hoping to do an impressive per capita comparison, but after looking at Mass, Washington and New York, I think I better wait a few more years. But we are growing!
