Birmingham is blessed with a wide variety of user groups. I’m doing a brief presentation today at our internal company user group. Do you have a lot of developers that work for your company? Maybe you should start your own user group. It’s a great place to meet with other developers in your organization, make new friends, and learn a few new techniques. But enough on that, here’s a list of just a few of the user groups in this area. The last link goes to the TechBirmingham site which has a comprehensive list of user groups in the Birmingham area.
