Mix Essentials Event in South Africa in June
I am very excited that Joe Stagner and I will be heading to South Africa the week of June 23rd. While we are there, we will have a chance to interact with the very passionate .NET community in both Johannesburg and Cape Town.
The South Africa Mix Essentials is an excellent chance to have a conversation about the next generation of web and designer technologies. I hope you can make it!
Same great content, two venues:
I'll be giving some very cool web technology talks while I am there including:
- Silverlight 2 (beta2!) Developer overview where I will talk about our generalal goals for Silverlight in the RIA space and walk through how to build a Silverlight application end-to-end.
- Building Great Web Applications with ASP.NET AJAX where I will talk about some of the new AJAX\JavaScript advances in VS2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. This will be an all-demo-no-slides sort of talk, so it will be a ton of fun!
- ASP.NET Futures including ASP.NET Dynamic Data and ASP.NET MVC.
While I am there, I will also do a couple of user group events.. here is what we have locked so far:
On June 23rd, I will be talk to a local .NET users group in Johannesburg about Silverlight 2! Thanks to Craig Nicholson for getting this setup.
On June 25th, I will be talking to a local .NET Users group in Cape Town about ASP.NET MVC. Thanks to Hilton Giesenow for getting it setup.
I have never been to South Africa before, so any thoughts on what would be good to see while I am there? See you there!
update: added the Johannesburg event, thanks Craig!
