Here is a heads up on the next three DotNETLearn user group meetings. All the
sessions are at Microsoft, 201 Jones Rd., Waltham MA, starting at 7PM.

Expect something extra in the way of door-prizes.

January 21
Agenda
For people with little background in ADO.NET, Rick Levin gives us an
ADO.NET to help prepare us for Adam Machanic's session in February.
A more detailed description follows in the next day or two.

February 18
Agenda:
Adam Machanic on ADO.NET and SQL Server 2005: A Data-Driven Power Couple

Forget LINQ to SQL and EDM (at least, for now). ADO.NET and SQL Server
2005 can interact more seamlessly than just about any other
combination of DBMS and data access framework, even without these new
technologies. Working together, the two allow for easy development of
a wide variety of flexible, high-performance database-centric
applications. In this session you'll learn to use such features as
Query Notifications, MARS, asynchronous commands and bulk copy. These
features provide a powerful foundation for creating heavily
data-driven applications.


March 17
Agenda:
Andrew Novick on great new features in Visual Studio 2008. More details on this
session in a future announcement.
