About the author

J Sawyer is a developer based in Houston, TX who absolutely loves to write code. After spending 9 years at Microsoft, he moved on to other things and is currently the Lead Developer for the RealTime Data Management team at Logica US. He spends his days building Really Cool Things around StreamInsight and having a blast doing it.

He has been involved with HDNUG, one of the oldest and largest .NET-focused user groups in the US, since its inception in 2001 and has watched it grow from 5-10 technologists meeting around a conference table to a thriving community of over 5000 with regular meeting attendance averaging 100 attendees. He currently serves as the Vice President. You can join him at HDNUG on the second Thursday of every month at the Houston Microsoft office.

He also loves to ride his Yamaha FZ1. And sometimes his Ninja 650. And also his Honday XR-400 dirt bike. But he doesn't code and ride at the same time. That would be bad.

.NET Dojo – Afterwards

September 2, 2008 3:24 PM

Well, we had the very first .Net Dojo last Thursday with Ben Scheirman presenting on ASP.NET MVC. Overall, the event was a major success; feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive. It was my feeling that this type of event would be pretty popular and I’m glad to see that this was the case.

I’d like to thank Sogeti for sponsoring the event and making sure that everyone had plenty of sugar and caffeine to keep them going through the afternoon. And I’d also like to thank them for their support Ben’s involvement in this event.

We will be doing more of these … due to room availability constraints, the next one will be in October. I’ll be announcing it once the details get finalized. Make sure that you subscribe here to get news of the next one … I’m sure that it will fill up very quickly, just as this past one did.

If you would like to download the sample code and presentation, you can find it here.
