************************************************************
Please share this information with your colleagues

Event: Visual Basic Learning User Group
Date: Monday, April 21, 2003
Location: Microsoft, 6th floor, 201 Jones Rd., Waltham MA
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
with extensive experience. He began his college level education at the
unprecedented
age of thirteen, and shortly thereafter began advising companies both

including Fortune 500 companies - on their IT practices. He continues to
combine
innovative technology with time-tested design techniques to produce
business solutions
with a unique effectiveness. Berube Consulting is based in Pembroke, New
