Community user groups

London .NET Meetup Group

ELEVATOR PITCH Gathering .NET coders, hackers, enthusiasts, evangelists, and experts to meet and discuss about all areas of the Microsoft .NET platform.

WHO SHOULD JOIN Fulltime .NET practitioners only (no recruiters please!).

BENEFITS Show off your work to peers. Get to know other smart developers. Bounce around ideas and discuss trends.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND Rather than coming to watch, you should join this meetup to participate. It's about sharing war stories; comparing tools and architectures; discussing the pros and cons of the latest tools and technologies; and generally a place to keep on top of the latest developments.

WHY IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN ... ... the London .NET User Group? That group (which I'm a big fan of!) focuses on top speakers, free product giveaways, and great community networking. We're different in that, as a Meetup, we're entirely community-focused. We don't focus on bringing in top speakers, and I wouldn't expect a lot of giveaways (there might be a bit of networking). Rather, we bring practicing, professional .NET developers together face-to-face every month, in a forum where we get to know each other up close.

Events coming up

We don't have any upcoming events for this user group. Do you know this group? If so, why not submit a future event?

Instead of a vertical tier partitioning, space based applications are partitioned horizontally into self-sufficient units. This leads to almost linear scalability of stateful, high-performance applications. Speaker Gojko Adzic will demonstrate how to implement space based applications on the .NET platform.
