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.

Presenting at the C# SIG

July 11, 2008 3:44 PM

Boy, I'm on a blogging roll today, eh? I've got one more in the works that'll go out by the end of the day too. The ol' keyboard is taking quite the pounding. :-)

I announced this last night at HDNUG, but Bill reminded me that some folks may not remember it all (there was a lot going on last night) and besides, I meant to blog it anyway.

Bobby Schaffer's Beginning C# SIG and Harry Nystrom's C# SIG will be meeting at the Microsoft offices on Tuesday, July 15. Bobby's SIG will be kicking off at 6:00 PM, where he will be talking about Inheritance in C#. Harry's SIG kicks off, I think, at 7 (maybe 7:30) and I will be there talking about ADO.NET Data Services, a killer-cool piece of .NET Framework and Visual Studio SP1, currently in beta. For each SIG, I'll also be giving away a copy of Visual Studio 2008 Professional ... so, yes, that's 2 copies of Visual Studio 2008 Pro!!!

Food? Hmmm ... yeah ... typically it's BYOF (that's bring your own food). But ... ya know ... yeah, what the hell ... I'll spring for pizza & drinks.
