User group events this week

Well, its another week with several user groups on.

Tomorrow night (Wednesday) the Auckland CBD .Net user group is meeting at Microsoft (22 Viaduct Harbour) at 6pm.  Andrew Tokeley will be repeating his excellent Dynamic Data Controls talk from Tech Ed.  If you've been at one of my sessions on my tour, you would have seen this mentioned ("one line of code and you get this").  This presentation will delve into the depths of this very cool new technology from the ASP.Net Futures pack.

On Thursday I'm presenting the second to last presentation of my User Group Tour (the last will now be November 14 in Invercargill at the new Southland .Net User Group that is being established there).  So if you've missed me or need an excuse to visit Napier, then I look forward to seeing you at 4:30pm on Thursday afternoon at EIT in Taradale.

Finally the second ZamDes meeting is on in Wellington this week at 6:30 pm in the Wellington City Council buildings:

Nigel Parker and Nas Khan present Designing with Expression Blend - This session will spotlight Microsoft Expression Blend and how it can be used to create compelling User Experiences for the Windows client and the web with Microsoft Silverlight. Join Nas and Nigel as they review the current design process… and workflow and lead into a live demonstration of the workflow which Blend and Visual Studio offers designers and developers.

As usual, you can join the mailing lists for all these groups by heading to https://mscommunities.net.nz and sending the leader a message to add you to the mailing list.  You can also use the form there to send additional feedback to them or ask venue details, etc.
