February 2010 Monthly Meeting
ugPDC - Microsoft Professional Developer Conference Recap
As you probably know, the Microsoft Professional Developer Conference was held recently. For three days, the latest Microsoft developer technologies were on display and the future of the platform was be laid out. PDC is a great conference, but not everyone can make it, but that doesn’t mean you have to be left out! There are two exciting ways you can participate in PDC and keep up to date on the latest and greatest information regarding things like .NET, Visual Studio, Silverlight, and more.
First, you can watch many of the PDC keynotes and sessions online via the PDC website. Just check out
http://microsoftpdc.com for a complete listing of keynotes, sessions, and more that will be made available either live or on demand following the conference. This is a great way to get all of the detailed information that is being covered at the conference.
But what if you can’t take the time during the day to watch a session or a keynote? Or maybe you aren’t sure of what you should check out and wish there was a way to just get the more important highlights? Lucky for you, the Mankato .NET User Group will be hosting a user group PDC event on February 23, 2010. This "ugPDC" event will provide you a great way to spend an evening networking with fellow developers while seeing the highlights of the PDC conference.
Our local ugPDC event is delivered in partnership with Microsoft and more details concerning the agenda, registration, and cool prizes will be coming as we get closer to the event. Make sure to put it on your calendar and we look forward to seeing you there!
We will have food and social time at 5:30, and begin the presentation at 6:00.
