Pay attention here–the meeting is moved to Monday because of a Pirates game.
Please join us on Monday, June 14th, at 5:30 PM at the Microsoft Offices on the North Shore for a deep dive into the new C# and VB.NET language features with two Microsoft engineers (Adrian 'Spotty' Bowles for VB.NET and David Sterling for C#) who are part of the language teams at Microsoft! There will be two sessions, one for each C# and VB.NET. And while there will be prepared materials for these sessions, please take this opportunity to ask the engineers who work on the language teams why the languages behave the way they do. This is your opportunity to directly ask Microsoft about C# and VB.NET!!
Please RSVP early for this meeting as we expect a full crowd. Please note that due to traveling schedules and a Pirates home game on Tuesday 6/15, this meeting is next Monday, 6/14.
If you have any questions, please reply to pghdotnet@gmail.com
Thank you!
Your PGHDOTNET Team
