    News Comments Off

    The next FredNUG meeting will be on Wednesday, December 17th at the Urbana Library at 6:45pm.

    Intro topic: “Intro to WatiN” with Tim Plourde. You can learn more about WatiN here.

    In-depth topic: “Geocoding, RSS, and Mapping, oh my!” with Andrew Duthie.

    Abstract: Take a trip into the wonderful world of geolocation with Microsoft Developer Evangelist G. Andrew Duthie. Andrew will explore the use of such technologies as Windows Live Maps and RSS as data sources for geolocation, geocoding via the MapPoint Web Service, and mapping out geolocated data with the Virtual Earth Map control (including the recently previewed ASP.NET Virtual Earth Server Control). If you’re feeling lost, this tour of geolocation tools and technologies may be just what you need to find yourself.
