.NET To Go Mobility Roadshow on Thursday, December 2, 2004 at the DeVos Center-Loosemore Auditorium.

The .NET To Go Mobility Roadshow will provide you with the answers to your mobile development questions. Digging into the details, using more code and fewer slides, these technical sessions will show you how to develop and implement mobile solutions using the .NET Compact Framework and languages you are already familiar with. To register for this FREE event or to learn more, go to www.msmobilitytour.com.

Registration is required to make sure that you can get in. You can register at the MS Events page - http://msevents.microsoft.com/cui/EventDetail.aspx?culture=en-US&EventID=1032265224&EventCategory=1.

It’s exciting to see this becoming real after all this work.

Each week, one new item will go online here at the main page. This week's item is on differentiating between value types and reference types.

You can view all the items here on the Effective C# page.

The short explanation is that we have updated our corporate website into a blogsite. This means that you can keep in touch with me, Josh (http://www.srtsolutions.com/public/blog/19990?model=user/myst/user-srt-corporate&scheme=green-notebook) , and Dianne (http://www.srtsolutions.com/public/blog/60881), or use RSS feeds for any of the updates on the site: upcoming events, press releases, new products and services. It’s just a better way to communicate.

An easier way to find me.

We (the Great Lakes .NET Area User Group) have Tom Barnaby coming to our local user group this month. It promises to be an excellent talk.

If you have the time, stop by.  We meet at the Microsoft Office in Southfield:
1000 Town Center, suite 1930.
Southfield MI

I hope to see you there.

Just a quick note to let everyone know that my final no-touch deployment article is live at TheServerSide.net
