The Indianapolis Event -

HEROES {Community} Launch

Excitement has been building with the release of Windows Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008, and the soon to be released SQL Server 2008. IndyNDA is extending this launch with two community launch sessions. Join Paul Hacker and Dan Rigsby as they dive into an overview of what is new in these products from a Developer’s perspective. This month, Dan Rigsby dives into the changes in C#, VB, and the .NET Framework 3.5.
