After attending the recent C# Generics presentation at the Boston .NET Group meeting, it has renewed my interest in building collection libraries as I did using STL during my C++ days many moons ago. A notable development is Wintellect's Power Collections - this looks very promising and is worth checking out.

I made it to MSFT Waltham MA offices on Tuesday (26th Oct) for the joint meeting event of the Boston DotNet Group and the Downtown Boston DotNet Group. The INETA-sponsored meeting had Juval Lowy's presentation on C# 2.0 Generics. His talk on C# Generics was pure poetry! He is currently working on the second edition of Programming .NET Components that should be out soon.

The first CT .NET Developer SIG meeting yesterday went very well - it was attended by ~35 developers and John Motyl's presentation on '.NET Distributed Applications' was well received. We are looking forward to some more terrific presentations in the near future.
As Carl mentioned - The Connecticut .NET Developers Group is BACK! For the past few weeks, both Carl and I have been putting together our local .NET SIG. Our first meeting is tomorrow with John Motyl's presentation on .NET Distributed Applications.
Now that we have our group on the roll - we'll get some more interesting topics like "Whidbey", "Yukon", Blogging/RSS and PodCasting!
My good friend Roy has a thought-provoking piece on User Groups. Wow! This is a Zen-like feeling as I am experiencing similar thoughts regarding users-groups! A few months ago, I had blogged about the state of our local .NET user group and with the hope of
resuscitating it. Well, Carl Franklin (of .NET Rocks! fame) and I have picked up the mantle and are putting together a "new" Connecticut .NET user group. Our first event is on October 19th with John Motyl's presentation on .NET Distributed Applications. Check out our temporary CTDOTNET website (we plan to move to a DNN-based site soon).
