Mea
culpa, mea culpa. In the last issue I
erroneously a wrong date for the SouthWest Florida Codecamp. If you’ve met the leader of the SW Florida
.NET group, John Dunagan, you may have some inkling of what it means to be on
his bad list. So I must point out now,
in lead column fashion, that the correct date for the codecamp is Saturday,
September 13. I’ll be there! For those
of you in the Northern part of the state, Jacksonville has the SQL 2008
Community Launch event on Friday, September 12.
That’s two pretty rocking events to get us through the late part of
September. Looking a little further out
the Tallahassee CodeCamp IV looks to be another fantastic event. Registration is now open.

SouthWest Florida CodeCamp is September 13
The
intrepid Naples.NET group is working toward the very first SouthWest Florida
CodeCamp on September 13th (Saturday). They’re looking at six tracks, and a great
bunch of fun. If you’re interested, be
sure and check out more details at http://www.devfish.net/FullBlogItemView.aspx?BlogId=553 .

[Jay

together a focus group around user experience and .NET. The first meeting will be on Sept 10. The focus of the group is the "now"

"future" of Silverlight2, and anything inbetween. See http://www.theruntime.com/blogs/jaykimble/archive/2008/07/17/tampa-user-experience-tux-user-group-is-coming-september-10th.aspx for more info.
