Welcome to the home of the Queensland MSDN User Group (QMSDNUG)!
QMSDNUG is the first contact point for Brisbane and Queensland .NET developers dedicated to sharing knowledge with and learning from each other. We primarily work with Microsoft technologies and acknowledge the support we receive from Microsoft.
QMSDNUG has operated continuously since 1998, before .NET!
Meeting Dates: Meetings are generally held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month, apart from December where that's a bit late in the month. Our meeting dates for 2008 are: Feb 21 (moved to Thursday), Mar 18, Apr 15, May 20, Jun 17, Jul 15, Aug 19, Sep 16, Oct 21, Nov 18 and Dec 9. See below for details of our upcoming meetings.
Location and Time: Meetings are held at Microsoft's Brisbane Office, Level 9, Waterfront Place, 1 Eagle St, Brisbane. Most arrive around 5:30pm for a 6pm start and we are normally finished around 7:30. It is important to arrive before the building lifts are locked at 6pm.
All welcome; bring your friends and colleagues. Whenever possible, pizza and drinks are supplied. |

Tuesday 20 May
17:30 for 18:00 - 19:30
Microsoft Brisbane office, Level 9, Waterfront Place, 1 Eagle St, Brisbane
This month we are fortunate to have Paul Stovell visit us from Adelaide and re-present his outstanding session from the recent CodeCampOz.
Paul Stovell, “Reactive Programming with SyncLINQ”
Synopsis:
As Windows Client developers, our platform is always improving: from Win16 to WPF and Silverlight, what was once the impossible has increasingly become the normal. But while the capabilities of our platform have evolved, have we? Is Object Oriented programming enough, or is there a paradigm that can better leverage these platforms? And where does LINQ fit in?
In this presentation, Paul Stovell introduces Reactive Programming. If you work with Windows Forms, WPF or Silverlight, prepare for a shift.
About Paul:
Paul Stovell is an expert in everything related to computers; just ask his mum. By day he’s a Senior Developer at Readify, where he teaches the WPF training course, helps clients with WPF applications, and holds the record for the highest consistent number of emails sent after midnight. By night he works on SyncLINQ, an open source set of LINQ extensions that enable data binding over LINQ queries. He was twice awarded a Microsoft MVP for Client Application Development, and enjoys writing about himself in the third person.
RSVP
All welcome. Bring your colleagues.
An early rsvp by email to mike@fitzsimon.com.au will help with planning.
Tuesday 17 June
Joseph Cooney: Silverlight 2.0 vs WPF: similarities and differences
Special Thanks to Dylan Tusler for his April presentation: A Case Study: Using TFS to support long-running deployment projects
