    The next FredNUG meeting will be on Wednesday 5/27 at 6:30pm at the Urbana library.

    The intro topic for the evening will be “SQL Server Dynamic Management Views” with Jeremy Kadlec.

    The main topic will be “Dissecting DevEvents.com: A Look at a Real World .NET MVC Implementation” with Steve Andrews.

    The ASP.NET MVC Framework provides a powerful Model View Controller (MVC) approach to building web applications, and provides separation of concerns, increased testability, control over HTML output, and intuitive URLs. We will start by looking at building a model framework with LINQ to SQL, including validation and model binding. Then, we’ll explore a custom generics-based repository and services implementation. Finally, we’ll tie it all together with a look at Views and jQuery.

    Thanks to Edgewood Solutions for sponsoring our April and May meetings.

    The next FredNUG meeting will be on Wednesday 4/22 at 6:30pm at the Urbana library.

    The intro topic for the evening will be “SQL Server Performance” with Jeremy Kadlec.

    The main topic will be “Coding for Fun and Profit” with Jeff Schoolcraft:

    A casual show and tell–with audience participation of course–of fun ways to keep your edge (and sanity).  The happy side effect is you’re learning and hopefully becoming more marketable to your current employer or getting enough sparks to ignite the fire and be your own boss.  This isn’t a technical session, per se, but bring your laptops and be ready to code.

    Thanks to Edgewood Solutions for sponsoring our April and May meetings.

    We have a slight change in the start time and agenda for this month’s Frederick .NET User Group meeting!

      Pizza! Beverages! Networking! – Enjoy some pizza while you get know other members in the group.

    • 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM - Using Silverlight in SharePoint - Sahil Malik
      Silverlight is one of the most exciting things to come out of Microsoft lately. In this session, Sahil cooks up a practical and interesting completely hands-on demonstration of how to use Silverlight in SharePoint. Not only does he talk of various details of Silverlight, along with proper deployment of silverlight projects in SharePoint, he also mixes WCF and demonstrates using Silverlight with full access to the SharePoint object model. You should attend if you are interested in either Silverlight, SharePoint, WCF, or any mixture of the above.
    • Speaker Bio: Sahil Malik has been a Microsoft MVP & INETA Speaker for many years, author of many books and numerous articles, consultant and trainer who delivers training and talks at conferences internationally. His talks are full of humor and practical nuggets. His talks tend to get very highly charged, fast moving, and highly interactive. Sahil likes to maintain a balance and learn as much as possible of all Microsoft technologies, and thus completely ignores the balance in his life. You should check out his site at http://blah.winsmarts.com
    • 8:30 PM – 8:45 PM – Raffle for some great giveaways!

    Bring a friend. Hope to see you there!

    The next FredNUG meeting will be on Wednesday 1/28 at 6:45pm at the Urbana library.

    The intro topic for the evening will be “Intro to LINQ” with Ganesan Muthiah.

    The main topic will be “Texas Hold’em Silverlight Game” with Dean Fiala. More info on this topic:

    If you’ve written one too many data entry applications or are otherwise stuck in a development vortex, it’s time to walk into the light, Silverlight that is. If you’ve heard about it, or have been constantly badgered by the Microsoft site to download it, this is your chance to see what it can actually do. In this session, we’ll walk through developing a Texas Hold’em game in Silverlight. Guaranteed to be a 97.89% buzzword-free reminder of how writing software can be fun.

    See you there!
