Why should we keep all the fun for ourselves here in New England? Michael de la Maza is taking his successful C# Day series to the virtual world of Second Life!
I've blogged about Microsoft and Second Life before, but now we'll have one of our own northeast volunteers running an event in association with the Second Life .NET Users Group on Visual Studio Island.
Full details are at http://www.sldnug.net/CSharpDay.aspx, and the event runs from 9:00 - 4:00 (SLT = Second Life Time = Pacific Standard Time = PST) on the lower level of Visual Studio Island. Here's the agenda:
9:00am - 9:30am - Ice breakers9:30am - 10:00am - C# Language Discovery10:00am - 11:00am - C# Language Cocktail Party 11:00am - 11:30am - Knowledge organization and self-reflection11:30am - 12:00pm - Starting a new project in Visual Studio/C# Express12:00pm - 1:00pm - Lunch1:00pm - 1:45pm - C# Program Discovery1:45pm - 2:45pm - C# Program Cocktail Party2:45pm - 3:15pm - Knowledge organization and self-reflection3:15pm - 4:00pm - InnerWorkings
The great part is you don't have to travel to participate in this C# Day. Just install the software (check the event site for details) and log in. Nobody has to know you're in your PJs.
You can get to Visual Studio Island by searching for "Visual Studio Island" in-world.
If the virtual world isn't to your liking, Michael will be running the next "real world" C# Day in January of February. Keep your eye on this blog or the C# Day site for details.
See you in Second Life!
