We meet on the last Wednesday of each month at the Microsoft office on Market Street. Please join us to meet other local .NET fans to discuss the latest and greatest .NET news and learn valuable information for career development.
We are part of the Bay Area Association of Database Developers (BAADD) and although we are new to Meetup, we have a loyal membership.
The .NET Developers User Group maintains a focus on development practices, demonstrations and show & tell in developer-centric interactive sessions.
Topics include all aspects of development for desktop, browser and web services, as well as architectural choices and application development frameworks. We provide a face to face forum and encourage peer learning and networking.
We don't have any upcoming events for this user group. Do you know this group? If so, why not submit a future event? We also support iCal, EventBrite and Meetup feeds.
