Omaha .Net User Group November/December Meeting
Fellow .Net Users, Hopefully everyone is recovered from the turkey induced coma that usually accompanies Thanksgiving Day. As the .Net users group we are thankful to our sponsors, hosts, and especially our speakers that make the group possible. We’re also grateful to the many people who take part in our meetings, volunteer their time and give ideas on how to improve the group. Let me take a few moments to recap 2011 for the Omaha .Net user group: January

Please note that this month’s meeting will not take place in the room (or even building) that we typically use at FCSA. FCSA has a new building with a room specially designed for user group meeting, and this month’s meeting will be held there. This building is just to the North of the building that we normally hold our meetings in.

Topic:
Visual Studio v.Next – A Look at What’s Coming Visual Studio 2010 was released almost two years ago but Microsoft has been hard at work on the next release. This session will take a look at the myriad features that are being incorporated into the next version of Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server. Some of these features are even available today for use within Visual Studio 2010 if you know where to look. If you want to get a peek at what's coming in Visual Studio v.Next (a.k.a. "Dev11"), then check out this session.
