My User Group Tour kicks off... here is my schedule
Next week my User Group Tour kicks off. This is the first one since last year, and I have more user groups to go to now too.
I'm presenting on Visual Studio 2008 which is due to RTM late this year and launch next March.
Title: A Lap around Visual Studio 2008
Abstract: Explore all the new Visual Studio 2008 features, from language enhancements; improved designers; Web, Office and smart-client development tools; to Visual Studio Team System, a suite of software lifecycle management tools poised to transform how you deliver software for Windows Vista, the 2007 Microsoft Office system, and the Web.

If you have a group of developers who are interested in this presentation, contact me and we can try and tee up a time for me to come and visit you - if you live outside of New Zealand, please be prepared to pay shipping costs :-)
