YOU,
Our Denver Visual Studio User Group Members |

How do you learn technology? -- Help us form our
newest sub group: our
Denver .NET Study Group (formerly our .NET Certification
Study Group).
We will discuss the Who, What, When, Where, Why of it
all.
Let's discuss
how YOU learn and what you know works best -- this may help
you and help those who are your fellow user group members by
contributing your thoughts about how we should form our 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.
This will be a casual conversation
among those who want to come early. Chris and Ely will begin with a
short overview and in the course of our discussion we will all talk
about the options available when choosing how to continue learning
and how best our use group can assist in your .NET learning
adventure (the one we are all on all the time)!
Come early and join our
casual discussion. You don’t need to prepare anything, just show up
early to join the discussion! |
