Philly .Net is hosting a special event this week. On Thursday December 2nd, we will be hosting a "Lunch and Learn" event to view the live stream of the Future of Silverlight Firestarter. For more information about this event visit http://www.silverlight.net/news/events/firestarter/. Keep in mind that we will only be viewing the Keynote which is from 12:00-1:45.
Come a few minutes early to enjoy a developer's favorite meal. Nothing is nothing more nutritious for developers than pizza and soda. (ok maybe we lied a bit about the nutritious part) |
