INETA

Oh yeah, by the way, I'm now an INETA speaker. ;-) What does this really mean? Well, if you'd like to get me to come out to your user group, all you need to do is put in a request to www.INETA.org and they'll help with the travel/hotel expenses

Fort Worth .NET Users Group - January 20th

If you're in the area, don't miss my presentation: What's New in .NET 3.5 Service Pack 1. Additionally, I've decided to extend Microsoft's extreme generosity by giving away a copy of MSDN Premium **WITH** Microsoft Visual Studio Team

Linq - Episode 1

I have to admit that lately I've been feeling a little overwhelmed by the amount of new technology that I need to grok in order to stay ahead of the curve. In a relatively short window of time, we've had Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF),

Why Oh Why Microsoft Why Why Why

OK, this is ridiculous! Why wasn't this information funneled out to the VB MVP's (and other VB'ites like myself)? How is it that the first word of this is stated in public by none other than Miguel de Icaza (yes, the mono project guy)? What
