As previously announced, Joe Healy, MicroSoft Developer Evangelist, will be presenting on Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 Overview – “more than a service pack”. It will deliver significant new components for web developers, including ASP.NET Dynamic Data, ADO.NET Entity Framework, and ADO.NET Data Services. Also including are a myriad of other features that Joe will cover with us.

This exciting meeting is this Thursday, August 28th. We will be having our meeting at Zea’s Restaurant at 605 E Gregory St, starting at 6:30. Our venue and buffet are courtesy of our newest sponsor TEK Systems, which they are an IT recruiting company expanding and opening an office here in the Panhandle. You will get to meet with one of their reps, Bill Meeboer, at the meeting, so if anyone is job searching, do bring your resume and/or contact info with you! 

In keeping up the SQL DBA track, Rodney will also be presenting on his top 5-10 list of queries and tools that DBAs can use daily. From simple T-SQL statements to full blown SSIS packages, the session demonstrate how to interogate, diagnose, report on, and resolve issues that are most prevalent for DBAs: disk space, security, backup locations, database and server documentation and performance.
 
Thank you to all those for getting the flyers out there for this meeting! 

I have some very exciting news to share with you at this next meeting, so I hope all of you can make it! With the attendance growing like it has been, we will definitely keep bringing in the top Microsoft and industry leading “gurus” to our meetings!

Also, do bring a business card, we have LOTS of giveaways this time, courtesy of three of our ongoing sponsors, Red-Gate, O’Reilly and WROX (Wiley) Books!
