Date: Thursday 28 August 2008........We've heard much about LINQ to SQL, its neat, but what is also neat is LINQ to XML, which hasn't has anywhere near as much press. So while everybody is looking the other way, lets sneak a look at how VB 9.0 is gearing up for a bit of a revolution in the way we handle XML: XML DOM is on its way out, XElement is on its way in. Along the way we'll check out a few new XML features in VB 9.0 including LINQ to XML, XML Literals and a bunch of other stuff too ... Speaker Bio: Dave works as Chief Architect for .NET Development at Ridgian Limited, a privately owned software house based in Central Birmingham.

    1km away in Manchester

    While it finds its feet this meetup will follow the same informal format, of creatives meeting up at The Northern for a drink and meeting new like minded creatives. These networking talks will then hopefully lead to some great work and partnerships.I'm looking at moving Northern Digitals on little with the addition of guest talks by people from different creative fields. More news on this to come, when I've found a venue etc. Any recommendations on this would be great.
