VB Rocks!

Visual Basic World Tour is under way

The VB World Tour is well under way. We have already visited user groups in Portland OR and Pleasanton CA. The rest of the schedule right now is (note, edited on 4/23 for accuracy)

  • Waltham 4/14 (Steven Lees and Amanda Silver)
  • New York 4/15 (Steven Lees and Amanda Silver)
  • Louisville 4/20 (Jay Schmelzer and Paul Vick)
  • Chicago 4/21 (Jay Schmelzer and Paul Vick)
  • Philadelphia 4/21 (Sean Draine and Joe Binder)
  • Denver 4/26 (Paul Yuknewicz and Jay Roxe)
  • Long Beach 4/27 (Sean Draine and Jay Roxe)
  • Dallas 5/13 (Steve Lasker and Eric Gruber)
  • Oklahoma City 5/14 (Steve Lasker and Eric Gruber)
  • Northern NJ 6/8 (Joe Binder and tbd)
  • Albany 6/9 (Joe Binder and tbd)

The first part of the evening is based on VB 2003 with a preview of some cool user controls we will be shipping soon and also cool Tablet PC and Visual Studio Tools for Office demos. The second part of the evening is all VB 2005.

We hope to see you there!!

The Visual Basic team is starting a user group tour that will visit more than a dozen user groups in the US.

Your World conception is a little bit limited :-)... What about Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, Australia, etc...

I agree with others, bizare name for the tour,unless it truely is visiting other countries. As some one said, this must be World tour as in "World Series" baseball...limited to the United States. Smaller world than I thought. What about the rest of us ???

I really wish they would rename the baseball competion to the USA series + any countries with teams that will not beat us...just kidding.

The name "world tour" makes me think of the "world series" in baseball, how neither of them are truly "worldly" =)

In fact, we are planning on a European and Asian swing. Jay Roxe had this to say over in Duncan's blog:

"..we're going to be doing European and Asian trips on the tour as well. Look for the page to get updated in the summer and fall. We're hoping to hit 40 cities worldwide by the time that we finish.."
