Do the Twin Cities really need ANOTHER .Net User Group?
There are two answers to that question. The first is YES, we think so. The second is that we aren't a typical .net user group, even though we focus on Microsoft Technologies. We use the term Developers Guild to imply more than just a roomful of folks sitting around listening to someone talk.
Our objective is to bring the various special interest groups of the Twin Cities together and also provide our own events. We think you'll be pretty happy with the results.

Topic: Writing Better Code
It's one thing to write code that will do the job in the short-term; it's another challenge to write code that can stand the test of time. In this session I'll show you how you can use tools and features in VS 2008 (e.g. unit testing, Code Analysis, Code Coverage, etc.) to assist you in making your code maintainable over time, easy to understand, and resilient to defects.
