 Feature Presentation     
 
  jQuery
jQuery For .Net Developers
with Ely Lucas, .Net Developer
 
     Do you want to build
rich, interactive, client side web based applications?
     jQuery can help you do just that!
     jQuery is a lightweight open source JavaScript library (only 15kb in size) that in a relatively short span of time has become one of the most popular libraries on the web. This  cross-browser library is designed to simplify the client-side scripting of HTML.
     Visual Studio 2010 is the first version of Visual Studio to ship JQuery as a native part of the ASP.NET solution set. By default, when you create new ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC projects with VS 2010 you’ll find jQuery automatically added to your project.
     This means that now is the time to become familiar with jQuery and discover how this powerful library can help you build the applications you need.
     Join us as Ely helps us build interactive applications using jQuery -- specifically geared towards .Net developers.

Denver .Net Study Group
Denver .Net Study Group

 
    
Our Denver .NET Study Group uses laser sharpness to focus our combined energies where it matters the most – the .net technologies that we use or want to use (if we only knew how).
     Our study group is a lesson itself in participation, since this is no typical classroom setting. When you join, plan to contribute as an active participant in your Denver .NET Study Group. Learn from others how they go about getting the job of learning done, the difficulties they encounter, and some good solutions. We meet casually, but we are all business when it comes to getting familiar with .net technologies.
    Some members want to realize their goal of .net certification, others want to learn in order to put into practice new skills in their current and future assignments, still others need to learn new skills for whatever comes their way (even when they are not sure what that is now).
    Our study group is open to our members who want to study for their .NET certifications as well as those who are not pursuing certification. Come join us whether you are experienced in .NET or new to .NET, but we expecting you to have some programming background and therefore, we structure our topics for members who are somewhat experienced in .NET.
     Join us to learn during our special sessions set up just for our Denver .NET Study Group. Keep track of our activities through our Denver .NET Study Group which is a subgroup of our Denver Visual Studio User Group on LinkedIn (which is, of course, a part of our larger Denver Visual Studio User Group (join as displayed on this web site).
