Devfish’s Corner

The MSDN Roadshow ala .NET Tiki Hut Tour is on track for this winter.  Come luau with us on the roadtrip as we cover Data Services, Azure, and JQuery / ASP.NET Integration.  The devfish hisself, along with trusty sidekick Jeff Barnes will be spearheading this run.  Target cities include Pensacola, Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Melbourne, and Naples.  For more info see http://www.devfish.net/fullblogitemview.aspx?blogid=623 .  In the meantime, we’ve got some great events heading up.  Check out the Tampa SQL Saturday on January 24 for a full day of SQL fun thanks to Pam Shaw, and [Dave Noderer] http://geekswithblogs.net/dnoderer/Default.aspx has organized quite a speaker list for South Florida .NET CodeCamp IV on February 7.  I’ll see you at both events I hope, and thanks to the awesome Florida dotneterati for organizing and speaking at them.

Joe Healy, a.k.a. the DevFish, is the developer evangelist for Florida. He enjoys fishing, games, writing .NET code, and playing with girls, Ryan and Morgan. Visit his blog, or send him e-mail.
