Those changes include: 6 new designers case model – a visual view of user stories (including...

Please join us on Monday, October 1 at 6:30 PM for the monthly Atlanta Cutting Edge .NET / MsPros / VB Study Group meeting.

Unfortunately we have lost our location due to scheduling conflicts at the Microsoft location. We regret having to do this twice to the same event, but we're going to cancel the LoadFest. We will regroup and try to bring this to you again, next time with better planning. http://blogs.msdn.com/dougturn...

Popping up just in the nick of time as I work on a project dealing with unmanaged code, Jeffery Richter gave us a great presentation on threading and reliability. Among the things I learned...IntPtr is bad. Time to go rewrite some code! Stupid examples.... We had about 60 people show up for Richter's...

First of all, does everyone know who Jeffery Richter is? He's a cofounder of Wintellect , he's the author of several books, including this one , he supposedly contributes to this blog (although I can't find any of his posts after 3 seconds of searching), and he apparently owns a cat (we'll forgive him...

Last night 27 people showed up to the cross user group holiday party/Visual Studio Launch Event recap. I gave a quick slide deck based recap of the Launch Event content (the web slide deck is now online at the Atlanta MS Pros website ). Chris Wallace followed me with some great demos of new ASP.Net features...

I want to thank everyone who came out to sit in the audience and learn something about SharePoint. We've collected over 200 surveys from the attendees, replete with comments such as, "Great job!", and "Thanks for all the hard work!" I'm proud of the effort that went into this series of presentations...

It's taken us something like a hundred hours to get where we are now, but we're finally here. All the Content CDs and Virtual PC DVDs have been pressed, the slide deck and hands on lab document have all been polished, pizza has been ordered, and we're all wearing our fancy presentation shirts. Today...

I'm actually writing this blog entry from the HOL room in the Intellinet offices as Dan wraps up his presentation of the 200 level content. We had a similar level of audience dropoff between the level 100 HOL and the level 200 HOL. Last time we had nearly 40 people show up where this time we had just...

Ramping up the content's technical level from the 100 level to the 200 level cut our audience to about 60% of our level 100 audience. This time we only managed to bring out about 42 developers interested in how to code some custom SharePoint web parts. As one of the members of the presentation team,...

The demand for the Hands on Labs was so high that we overran our capacity by more than double! We had enough space for 15 people to have PCs and we managed to squeeze 35 people into the room, not counting the 8 people there as instructors! Dan Attis did a great job with the content and leading people...
