Welcome to the SW Florida .Net Developer Group!

You've found the public website for the .Net community in SW Florida: some of us just call it "Group." (It's easier to remember.)

We meet at least once, and usually 2-3 times every month to learn, network and share experience and advice about Microsoft software development technologies with our fellow enthusiasts. On the left, you'll see our next scheduled meetings. On the right, we thank the folks who've helped us keep it fun, beneficial, and sometimes even lucrative to come hear a topic.

We converse on our Group at Windows Live. Joining is free, and it's how we communicate.

Facebook Dev, 11/17 Might Set a Meeting Attendance Record

We're hearing from people as far away as Sarasota and Lakeland that they're planning to be here for our humble Group meeting on 11/17 at Neighborhood America. We might need extra chairs. No pressure, Philip!

Get Ready for Speaker Idol in December

The Florida dev community is rolling out a contest: Give your best ten-minute presentation (yep, 10 minutes!), and if you're the best in the state, you can win some SERIOUS prizes. But it all starts with the local, and we'll be doing ours in December - and giving the winner a slightly more modest prize. Keep an eye out. To add to the festivities, we'll fill in the remaining time at Group with Xbox and Zune tips. And we'll be festive. (MS MVPs not eligible.)

Possible INETA Speaker for January

We'll kick off the New Year with some national talent, and leverage our great weather to bring someone down to thaw out. Details when we get that confirmed.
