Everything VB ...
 

Singapore's .NET User Group (SGDOTNET) and MSDN Singapore would like to invite you to a special session with two members of the Visual Basic Team from Redmond.  They will be in Singapore for one day (layover between flights) and would like to share with you some exciting stuff... all in Visual Basic.
 

      Jay Schmelzer is the Group Program Manager on the Visual Basic Team at Microsoft. Jay and his team are responsible for the Visual Basic language, compiler, My namespace, editor and debugger experience within Visual Studio in addition to providing the Visual Studio design-time experience for ADO.NET, ClickOnce deployment and WCF. Prior to joining Microsoft, Jay was a partner with a leading consulting firm and specialized in the design and development of enterprise applications. Jay has authored several articles and books on application development and is a frequent speaker at conferences.

     Antoine Cote is a Development Lead on the Visual Basic Team at Microsoft. He and his team are responsible for many data access features including designers for the ADO.NET and LINQ-To-SQL technologies. Previously, he lead the development efforts to create the Visual Basic Express product. He also owned various RAD features for building Desktop and Web applications. Before coming to Microsoft, Antoine was working for a company in Montreal building security related software.

And for the fun filled break, we will show you what we used from Microsoft Research to create this cheesy "VB" photo.  Yes, it spells "V" and "b".

So come join the VB team, SGDOTNET, and myself at our little gathering.  But hurry... due to the Redmond guys visiting, seats will be limited. 

Oh yeah, one more thing... I have 100 FREE Visual Basic 2005 Jumpstart books to be given away to the first 100 people who register and attend the event.

Love and Kisses!
