SW Florida .Net Developers Group

Holdin' it down for .Net development on the Platinum Coast of FL

Greetings, Devs!

Sorry – I’ve been hammered with everything.

YES, there is a meeting – tomorrow, in fact. I, your humble President, am going to relate my experience at the two-day developer conference in Ohio I attended, Codemash.

It’s at the Polaris Center, 4th Floor, 1265 Creekside Parkway in north Naples, FL. Meeting starts at 6:30pm.

Thanks,

John

October 20th, 6:30pm at the Polaris Center, our very own Chad England will present “What’s New in Silverlight 5.”

Chad is a Microsoft Certified Technical Specialist in Silverlight 4 Development. Chad currently serves as one of the primary developers at ASG (www.asg.com) working on Energy Management solution for the Data Center built on top of WCF and Silverlight.  Chad takes an active interest in the local and online development communities and can be reached via his blog at: www.chadengland.com .

That’ll go down at our now usual spot, the Polaris Center – 1265 Creekside Parkway, Naples.

We’ve got a great meeting planned at Polaris Center for September. On the 15th of that month, Josef Diago of Sherlock Technologies on the East Side will come out and talk about the evolution of the Orchard Content Management System, a .Net Open Source CMS that has enjoyed a renaissance since people pretty much panned it in its prior incarnation as Oxite. If it’s as good as advertised, you can keep a whole lot of money you might have been spending for the likes of Sitefinity, Community Server, etc.

At press time, it is unknown whether our customary spot on the 4th floor will be fully remodeled and ready to host. If it is not, we’ll use the conference center on the 3rd floor, which worked great for the 15 of us who turned out to hear Russ Fustino this month. You know for sure it’s at 1265 Creekside Parkway, and doors should be open around 6:00pm, so show up there, stay tuned for Adam’s sign, and stay frosty. Josef has already garnered many positive reviews of his presentation, and I’m sure this time will be highly enlightening and entertaining, as well.

See you there!

John

Greetings, Devs!

Many of you knew Russ Fustino as the Guy with the Toolshed. He’s now working for our newest Friend of the Community, GrapeCity.

He’s also toting around FlipCam and becoming the historian of the Florida .Dev Community. http://gvtv.gcpowertools.com/ has all of it – it’s a great site and you can keep an eye on what the community is up to.

He’ll do Silverlight Reporting on Thursday, 8/11 at the Polaris Center. We’re extremely happy to have him back.

We’ll see you there – Polaris Center is 1265 Creekside Parkway – Naples. We meet on the 4th Floor.
