It’s official, we are kicking off a local South Florida Chapter for Stony Brook alumni and friends in the area to keep in touch. Our first networking event will be taking place at Champps, Ft Lauderdale on November 17th, 6:00-8:00 PM. Admission is free and open for everyone, whether or not they are Stony Brook Alums. The team at Champps is offering us great specials (Happy hour deals, half-price appetizers,etc.) that we can choose to enjoy while we network and catch up. (Event Announcement: http://alumniandfriends.stonybrook.edu/page.aspx?pid=299&cid=1&ceid=171&cerid=0&cdt=11%2f17%2f2011)
I look forward to share and revive my college experience which I believe was the starting line of my ongoing life journey. It would be also great to hear others’ take as they reflect on their experiences throughout their college years.
I invite anyone interested in keeping in touch with friends and alums of Stony Brook to join our LinkedIn or Facebook groups.

Shervin Shakibi, Microsoft Regional Director, was our speaker at the West Palm Beach .Net User Group July 2011 meeting. Shervin’s talk was demo-centric where he showcased the power of HTML 5 by example. Issues discussed at the meeting included suggestions on mitigating security concerns with HTML 5 source code accessibility as well as the status and timeline for HTML 5 readiness. Shervin’s much anticipated talk brought us over 25 members who filled our CompTec meeting room.
We appreciate Shervin’s commitment to sharing his knowledge with the technical community and we look forward to him visiting us again in the near future.
Our next meeting will be taking place on Tuesday August 23rd, 2011 at 6:30 PM. Ritesh Pahwa, PMP, will be covering Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2010: new features, implementation concerns and upgrade considerations. We will continue with our tradition of providing free food brought to us by Sherlock Technology as well as holding our free raffle with every member leaving with some gift item. Hope you can make it!
Below are some photos of our July meeting with Shervin.

In the past few months, we at the West Palm Beach .Net User Group have been busy soliciting your feedback on topics you would like covered at our upcoming meetings. We have also been encouraging our members to step up and share on the projects they work on and the technologies they use. The result is the schedule below which we hope brings a good variety of today’s hottest topics. We look forward to seeing you at our meetings and to receiving your feedback as we continuously strive to improve the group.
Our upcoming July 26th meeting features Shervin Shakibi on HTML 5. This meeting presents a good opportunity to get heads up on this new technology which is quickly capturing developers’ interest and market share.
For August, Ritesh Pahwa covers TFS 2010. There have been multiple questions on the new features introduced in TFS 2010 as well as on the upgrade process from older TFS editions. Ritesh, who managed the successful upgrade to TFS 2010 for Palm Beach County earlier this year, will be answering all our questions and sharing tips on leveraging the latest features in TFS 2010.
September brings our own Amir Liberman to share on his CodePlex LINQ Extensions Library and answer all our tough LINQ questions.
Other topics generating a big buzz today are Windows Phone 7 and the Kinect SDK. We are very privileged to have our esteemed Microsoft Developer Evangelist, Joe Healy, traveling all the way from Tampa to share with us the latest on Windows Phone 7 in October and Kinect in November. Joe’s back-to-back appearance at our group is bound to finish our year on a strong technical note.
Plans are already underway for 2012. Our focus continues on bringing you the latest technologies presented by a diverse group of speakers, but we also hope to kick it up a bit to increase your participation in “YOUR” group. We are recruiting new volunteers with the goal of bringing you value-added services and special events in addition to the regular FREE monthly meetings. Stay tuned for more announcements as plans get finalized.
Look forward to meeting and chatting with you at our upcoming meetings. Should you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me via my blog, www.geekswithblogs.net/wildturtle
