As developers we are always excited about latest technologies, and as a developer working in Microsoft eco-system there is no shortage of new tools and technologies. This is the driving point behind starting vNext User Group. The group aims to share knowledge about offerings from Microsoft which are in pipeline i.e they are to be released in future.

vNext is an extension of SDNUG which has been running in Sydney for more than seven years. At this stage vNext announcements will be made via SDNUG website and mailing list so members will not miss out on meeting info.  The group meets at the same location as SDNUG on first Thursday of alternate months. To make things clear here is the schedule of meetings for both vNext and SDNUG for year 2009.

vNext

 

For our first meeting on Thursday 7th May 6:00pm to 8:00pm I am doing a presentation on Cloud Computing in which I will talk about Microsoft Azure and what it means for .Net developers. Pizza will be provided and there will be many goodies for attendees to take home.

On an emotional note this is a big step for me and I hope that I am able to serve developer community. Of course I need your wishes for this. What better way than to come to the meeting and give them to me in person :)

    would love to be there for the ‘launch’ of vNext but the 7th is my anniversary…so attending would probably make me homeless ;-)

    Mark,

    I totally understand that. Having a roof will take priority for me any day :)

    Hope to see you at our second meeting.

    Hey Deepak,

    I’ll be attending & looking forward to learn more about Azure. Ease of use will be a key factor here …AWS may not have all the bells & whilstles, but, is extremely easy to use.

    I’ll make sure I get my bucket of wishes for you mate ;-)

    Do, I need to RSVP, or will this suffice?

    Rgds,
    Uday

    Thanks Uday. So that you don’t miss future meeting announcements, I’ll suggest that you get on the SDNUG mailing list. Go to http://sdnug.org and towards the bottom of the page there is a little for you can fill.

    Looking forward to see you on Thursday.

    Congratulation on the launch of vNext User Group! I really like to come if I can manage to do so. It’s pity that I am working too far away from the CBD and may not be able to get there in time. I wish you all the best!
