Time: 7pm "Good Programming Practices in VB.NET"

Over 80% of software projects are late, over budget, or both. Your
project does not have
to be one of them. With the proper practices in design, management, and
programming,
teams and individuals using VB.NET can be more productive, produce
projects with fewer
bugs, and deliver solutions cheaper, quicker, and more effectively. About
the Speaker:

technology firm
that is the brain-child of David J Berube; formerly child progeny, and
now an IT consultant
