Roll up, roll up, Rafal Lukawiecki's in the house...well he will be @ Fest '07 in May
It's not long until the NxtGenUG Fest '07 event - it's taking place on 23rd May at the Microsoft Campus in Reading. Rafal is one of a number of top rated speakers including Oliver Sturm and Lorna Brown who'll be talking about Vista Security, Dynamic languages and 'New Concepts for the Home' respectively.
I don't normaly give blatant plugs but as this is for a user group here goes...sere's the description from the organisers...
What's FEST07 all about?
It’s all about “Into The Future …”. We’ll start the day in the present, looking at Vista, and then we’ll jump forward a few months to take a look at LINQ, a great and innovative new technology from Microsoft. We jump ahead further in the afternoon, a year or so, with a look at how Dynamic Languages such as Iron Python are being brought into the .NET world, and finally we’ll end up seeing how the home of the future might look in a few years time …
We'll end the day with one of NxtGenUG’s renowned ‘game show’ sessions where the differences between learning, fun, 'swag' and chaos become somewhat blurred …
It's also about taking time out to get our heads above the parapet, get away for a day, learn some different stuff, smell the roses, eat some pizza, get some 'swag' and meet some friendly, like-minded people at a great venue.
