We have an event coming up soon that I would like to let you all in on. I am planning on doing a .NET workshop on Friday Feb 20th. I was wondering how many people would be interested, and what languages I should stress. The options are: 1. C# 2. VB 3. F# 4. Iron Python 5. Iron Ruby I will definately by including C#, as it is my language of choice. And since it is a new language I would like to include F#. But I am willing to bend if I see a large preference to another language. Please send me any questions and/or comments.

The graphics card processor has advanced to the point where, for many applications, it is far faster than your CPU. Come to the talk and learn how to take advantage of your GPU and learn about some of the newest research going into programming for it. There will be food, drink, and merriment, as usual.
