Last night we had about 60 people at the Atlanta MS Pros user group listening to Jim Wooley talk about the migration path developers currently using Linq to SQL might use to move to the Entity Framework. Jim has some deep history with Ling, including being the coauthor of the Manning Press book Linq...
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...
Excellent turnout in terms of percentages at last night’s SharePoint 1, 2, 3! Level 200 presentation. We had 23 people registered to attend and where we normally experience between 25% and 40% drop-off, last night we saw only a 17% drop-off. That means that 19 people were in attendance last night. Several...
There is still room for attendees. Register for tonight (seminar presentation) Register for tomorrow (hands on lab) Thanks in advance to everyone for coming out and supporting us!
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.

Last night the Atlanta Microsoft Professionals got together with Kenny Wolfe and Kirk Evans to go over some actual code examples of working Indigo code. We got to see how you could change the transport and easily generate data contracts via the tools and more. Kirk put himself on the spot with some on...
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...
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...
