Programming Skills a Little Dull? Why Don’t You C-Sharpen Up with Philly .NET on 6-Oct-2012?

Posted on September 24, 2012 | by Alvin A.

In case you missed my link to Steve Michelotti’s post about C-Sharpen Up in this morning’s Dew Drop, you can read that here. Here’s a blurb:

On October 6th, I’ll be presenting at C-Sharpen Up at Philly.NET at the Microsoft Malvern, PA location. I’ll be presenting along with Stephen Bohlen, Andy Schwam, and Danilo Diaz.

This is an encore presentation of the popular C-Sharpen Up event held by the Philly .NET User Group this past spring. Don’t be fooled, this is not an Intro to C#. This event is aimed at developers who are experienced in C# and want to take their skills to the next level. Learn some LINQ, Lambdas, SOLID principles and unit testing practices from some of the best in the region.

The event is on 10/6 from 8:00am – 4:30pm, and it will very likely sell out. Go! Register now! Tell ‘em I sent you. You won’t get a prize for that, but you might get a dirty look or two. Winking smile
