Over the previous weekend I attended Alabama Code Camp III down in Montgomery Alabama. A big thanks to the Montgomery group for a job well done!
While there I attended .Net University (http://www.dotnet-u.com/). .Net U is a brand new program from Microsoft designed so that local developers can train their peers on the core components of the 3.0 .Net Framework. I attended four sessions, and got a terrific overview of the new features.
After completing the courses, I received a certificate of completion and a nifty t-shirt. Not only did I get to attend, but I was in the very first .Net U class in the country! Check out the Alumni page (http://www.dotnet-u.com/Alumni.aspx) at the bottom is a pic of our class. (I’m almost dead center, standing directly in front of the big U (not the U in University, the U at the right end of the banner). I look like I have horns coming out of my head.)
If you get a chance to attend an upcoming .Net U, I encourage you to do so, gives you a great opportunity to get caught up on the new Framework features. One not near you? Put one on. All the materials you need are on the site, along with a contact link to get in touch with Microsoft.
