New User Group in Maine!
I'm happy to say that Maine will be getting a brand new user group in Bangor!
The well-named BAND (Bangor Area .Net Developers) will meet (for "gigs") monthly to talk about current developer topics with a focus on current technology that's ready for practical use.
Check out their website at https://www.bangordevelopers.com
This month's gig:
Tuesday, Jan 22, 6:00-8:00 pm
Hampton Inn, Bangor (directions)
