We are happy to announce Oresund Alt.Net – a community for .Net developers in the Øresund/Öresund region, focusing on learning about and improving our processes, tools and skills by learning from each other!
We will have our first meeting on Thursday 29th at DotWay in Malmö, where we have invited Johan Lindfors, Technical Chief of Microsoft Sweden, to come and tell us about all the exciting new technologies that were revealed at PDC ‘08. DotWay has promised to provide snacks and drinks, and we hope to create a nice atmosphere that can accommodate some interesting discussions.
We hope to see a lot of developers from both Denmark and Sweden, and that this will be the beginning of a long exchange of learning in our region!
About Øresund Alt.Net:
What is Oresund Alt.Net? Oresund Alt.Net is a community for .Net developers in the Øresund region to meet, on the Internet as well as in the real world, and learn from each other. We want to pursue innovative ways of interaction, such as open spaces meetings and coding dojos, and strongly encourage everyone interested to show up with an open mind and spirit and join the fun!
As proponents of Alt.Net we believe in continuous improvement, and the only way to achieve this is through constant learning. We also believe that the best way to learn is not through passive observation but rather through active participation.
Alt.Net is not about opposing Microsoft; it is about realizing that learning must come from multiple sources, and not only MSDN. The same goes for tools. If you’re only using the tools provided by Microsoft in your daily work, you’re missing out. In Oresund Alt.Net we want to accommodate discussions of how to do things better. How can we optimize our processes (e.g. agile), how can we optimize our code (e.g. frameworks, patterns) and what tools help us do all this. We want to hear what experiences you’ve had, and we want to share our own.
We know there are a lot of skilled .Net developers in the Oresund region, and we want to reach out to all of you. Crossing the Oresund Bridge may seem like a long trip, but it’s not, and we’re confident that you will find the investment of your time paid back plentiful.
