Watch here for more information!

Interesting...
DiscountASP.net (who hosts our website) has a free sandbox for trying new Microsoft development tools at http://labs.discountasp.net/. If you try it, mention it at our next meeting (October 20).
If you have written a book or magazine article and would like members to know about it, please send a short description to jcalla@pnat.com and we'll mention it on our website.
If you cut you developer eye teeth on Basic, Small Basic will bring you back to your roots (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/devlabs/cc950524.aspx). It's a great way for kids to get started programming. If you try it, mention it at our next meeting.
Opportunities for our members...
We are looking for a sponsor chairperson to contact current and potential sponsors for contributions to our group throughout the year and for Code Camp. This person would need to represent the benefits of our group to local businesses and consulting companies, introduce the sponsor during meetings, and maintain a positive relationship with those who support us.
Please contact Judy Calla at jcalla@pnat.com, if you are interested.
