Just a note to let you know about the next MSDN Event. Here in the Developer and Platform Group, we often get questions on where is the best place to start if you want to get up to speed in .NET quickly. So, we decided to do a type of jump-start event to make it really easy for people to learn about how to get up and running with the .NET tools and technologies.

So, if you know people who you think would benefit from a quick (yet comprehensive ;) introduction, let them know about this event. Or, if you are already familiar with .NET, but want to hear about the latest, greatest resources, do come along! We look forward to seeing you there!

MSDN Evening Briefing: An Introduction .NET

Event Overview:

You can expect to come away with:

• An understanding of .NET and web services definitions and concepts
• Examples of where and how .NET is being used in Ireland today
• A list of training resources (free and otherwise) to help you get up to speed quickly
• Information on the easiest ways to get hold of the development tools

This will be a relatively informal session, with plenty of opportunity for questions and discussions around any of the topics covered. Afterwards, we also hope you will join us for a social get-together.
