South Houston .Net User Group has moved to Facebook. You can find us here.
Take a minute to jump over to our page and click the ‘Like’ button to become a fan. Once we get 25 fans, we get some more features and nice URL to give out.
As you know we have not been keeping this blog up to date, and we are hoping that moving to Facebook will help increase our ability to communicate with you and, more importantly, increase your ability to communicate with us. We meet once a month, but I think there is a lot of value in staying connected between meetings. Between the Twitter and Facebook, I’m hoping we can accomplish this.
Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter. @shdnug
Thanks,

This month we’re looking at jQuery and how to use it the “right” way in WebForms and MVC applications. We’ll be taking a deep dive into selectors, commands, and plugins. It will be a lot of fun. If you haven’t used jQuery, or you have, but are still a little new to it, or if you are a certified jQuery Ninja Master, you should come out to the user group meeting on Wednesday, March 31st from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM. We will have food and drinks for all. It’s @ 16616 Diana Lane Houston, TX 77062 - (281) 488-1906. We will be meeting upstairs again this month.
This class is being led by Kevin Lee, you can checkout his blog here: http://www.chewyq.com/

With the help of Kevin Lee, co-worker and SHDNUG’s new Director, we’ve been able to get more organized and really focus on growing SHDNUG this year. We have speakers coming in from all over Houston, including Zain Naboulsi (Microsoft Evangelist, @zainnab), Todd Anglin (Chief Evangelist, Telerik and Microsoft MVP, @toddanglin), Claudio Lassala (Senior Developer, EPS Software, @claudiolassala), and many, many more.
One big change is that we have moved the meetings from the first Wednesday of the month, to the last. Our first meeting is going to be on February 24th @ the Freeman-Branch library (we will be meeting in the upstairs conference room this month and the next, and then we’re back in the large conference room downstairs). Zain Naboulsi will be there from Microsoft speaking about debugging in Visual Studio. It will be good to see all of you again after our short break, and regroup. I hope that this year SHDNUG grows rapidly, and we are doing everything we can to keep the community together between meetings.

I think it’s due time for an explanation of what’s happening with SHDNUG.
First of all, we are not going away. In fact, I’m working on getting some more help running the user group and growing attendance at the meetings. I have recently taken on a new project and just bought my first house. So, naturally, things are a little crazy right now. My thought is that the next meeting will take place in November or December where we will get a great overview of using jquery in asp.net forms apps and maybe a little peak at using them in MVC. Speaking of MVC, I’m working on getting a great speaker for early next year, but no promises yet. To sum up, SHDNUG is alive and well. I hope to be back in the next month or so, with some more support and goodies to give away. I want to thank all of you for sticking around and checking out the site. Keep checking in, we’ll be back very soon.
