Canberra .NET Users Group - The Best Place to Learn .NET for Free in Canberra
Every month, SSW hosts the Canberra .NET User Group where developers meet to exchange
ideas and listen to presentations by local and international industry experts. Topics
focus on .NET development, SharePoint, SQL Server and a splattering of Office and
Access. We also love discussing the latest industry news and exciting new trends.
Usually held on the 3rd Monday of every month, the Canberra
.NET Users Group has covered Microsoft Windows Forms, Web Forms, C#, VB .NET, WPF,
Silverlight, Access, SQL Server, XML, Exchange Server, SharePoint and WSS, new product
releases, legal issues of software development and tips and tricks sessions.
3 Great Reasons to Attend The .NET User Group
- Learn
- Build contacts
- Socialize *
* For information on why we
spell this the American way
Developers are already good at writing code. Writing reams of code just digs you
deeper into an already deeply specialized skill. What I am proposing is that we
spend less time coding and more time developing skills in other areas that complement
our coding skills. Become a better writer. Become a better speaker. Improve your
personal skills. Participate in the community. Try to spend some time talking to
people instead of the compiler. That's how you distinguish yourself from your peers.
And that's ultimately how you become a better software developer, too.

I Would Like to Present
Every month the User Group is full of highly technical early adopters of technology
and SSW are always open to exploring the latest technologies. We welcome companies
and guest presenters to present new topics and new gadgets. We do require you to
delve beyond the sales and marketing pitch and show us how it was built, not just
why it was built. Here's a quick list of some of the requirements for prospective
User Group presenters:
- Presentation needs to be directed at a highly technical audience (No sales pitch)
- Introduce new technology
- Samples and giveaway prizes for User Group attendees
- SSW needs to approve the presentation prior to the meeting with a rehearsal - make
a time with Adam
- Guest presenters must send a summary (maximum of 150 characters) of their presentation
for inclusion into our Past SSW Newsletter one week prior to the User Group
If you think you're up for the challenge and have something new to show us, please
contact us.
