Two Toronto User Group Meetings: Jan 10 and 11, and CodeCamp 2007

It's a busy week indeed with two great user group meetings covering SharePoint in Toronto.

The first will be the Toronto SharePoint User Group meeting on Wednesday, January 10. Reza Alirezaei will be the featured speaker this week with a session on Site Columns and Content Types in Office SharePoint Server 2007. Reza is a great speaker with some great demos planned, I'm really looking forward to this one.

Next on Thursday I'll be speaking at the Metro Toronto .Net User Group meeting. The topic is "What Developers Love about Windows SharePoint Services 3.0" and it should be a fun one. We'll look at how to leverage the platform services offered by WSS 3.0 (which is a free extension to Windows 2003 Server) to build great applications, and see how Office SharePoint Server 2007 further extends this with some truly powerful data access and content management features. The user group meets Thursday at 6:00pm at 200 Bloor Street East in Toronto (Manulife Financial).

Also on the horizon is Toronto CodeCamp 2007 on March 31. Registration is now open, and last year all available seats were filled pretty fast so register today. The best part is that this mini-conference featuring over 20 speakers and thousands in prizes is absolutely free! Come on out and if you want to start getting involved in the community, volunteering at CodeCamp or your favourite user group is a great way to start.
