CINNUG had it’s first ever special event last Thursday on April 3rd. The event was held at the Microsoft office in Mason and was put on in conjunction with Microsoft (specifically Tim Adams and Randy Pagels). Randy gave two talks on Visual Studio Team System and Tim brought the SWAG and paid for the pizza!
Randy provided an overview of new features in the Visual Studio Team Edition SKUs and then provided some examples of how to do performance/unit testing with Visual Studio Team System Developer Edition.
I’ve seen several indications that there is a shortage of engineers in colleges, I wonder just how bad this shortage really is in the U.S. In the U.K. Bill Thompson is asking who will write tomorrow’s code.
Yesterday Andy Erickson interviewed me for a local podcast called Cincinnati IT Podcast. You can find the podcast here. We talked about the history of CINNUG and the newly dubbed Central Ohio Day of .NET.
One of the things I’d like to point out is that Andy indicates at the beginning of the talk that he thought I took up a good leadership role for IT in Cincinnati. While I might be visible in the IT world around Cincinnati because I’m one of the Directors for CINNUG, there are a LOT of people that are helping me out.
