Great show by Carl and Richard, of the .NET Rocks Show.

Carl showed some great features in VB.NET for VS2005, including asynchronous programming. Richard concentrated on Mobility Development including a great overview of the technology currently available and soon to be released stuff, and how Microsoft's .NET plays in that arena for developing applications.

Their presentation was hosted by CAPAREA and Microsoft in Reston.

Circle your calendars for Tuesday, December 13th for a premier presentation at the Capital Area .NET User Group!! CAPAREA meets in Tysons Corner (directions).

Kudos to Scott Lock, CAPAREA President, for getting Jasper Johansson, Microsoft Security Expert, as a presenter on December 13th.

The presentation that he will give is still being discussed, but needless to say, his "How To Get Your Network Hacked in 10 Easy Steps" and other presentations were SRO (standing room only) at recent Microsoft TechEd conferences. Not only are his topics critically important to IT developers and administrators, but he is one of the best presenters I have seen (and I have seen a few).

 

See you there!
