Learn more about LINQ on the Heart Land District’s first User Group Webcast. This is a series of free webcasts on every other Monday starting on Nov. 6th. The first one is presented by Bill Wagner. The next one is being given by Brian Prince. I’m on the hook to do one in January.
I’ve started listening to the Polymorphic Podcast. The podcasts centers on interviews about .Net technologies and development practices. The podcasts run between 20 minutes and an hour.
