So as already tweeted (@MADdotNET) - presentation meeting this Wednesday - Nov 2nd. :)
Had many requests to get Damon Payne to come to Madison to give his presentation on the //Build conference and the treasure trove of information that came out of //Build -- everything from what will Windows 8 development look like? - to - What technologies we as developers will be using in the very near future? For anyone who hasn't seen Damon present, he's a fantastic speaker and will have outstanding examples to give us concrete examples of what we need to know!
Upcoming Meetings (Nov / Dec):
November 2nd -- "//Build, Windows 8, and WinRT" - Damon Payne
November 16th -- .NET Lunch
November 30th -- "Application Development with HTML5" - Clark Sell ( One week early for the December Presentation meeting )
December 14th -- .NET Lunch
Build, Windows 8, and WinRT
Presentation Meeting: Wednesday, November 2nd
At the 2011 //Build Conference Microsoft showed us a lot of Windows 8 as well as a new Windows runtime called WinRT. Windows 8 promises to be a fantastic modern operation system and WinRT is our link to all the great functionality baked into Windows 8. We will begin with a brief Windows 8 overview and move on to building applications in WinRT using C#, XAML, and JavaScript with a lot of code and discussion.

Application Development with HTML5
Presentation Meeting: Wednesday, November 30th
HTML5 is the biggest and most powerful HTML specification to ever come out of the W3C. Its roots come from a proposal to extend HTML4 to make it easier for web developers to create web applications. With more and more browsers supporting HTML5, ECMAScript 5 and other web standards, developers now have a strong web platform they can use to create a new class of application that is more powerful and interactive than ever before. What's in HTML5 that lets us take our applications to the next level?

Bio: Clark is a web evangelist for Microsoft based in Illinois. A Chicago native who can’t spell, Clark as a kid actually made his money building cars, getting grease under his nails. That art of building would later lead him to software development where he drinks the Web Development Kool-Aid. Writing code is what keeps Clark awake at night, while continually working on his craft and rapping with others over a few cold CORS. You can hear Clark muse about software on his podcast Developer Smackdown, or find his family cruising around in a 1968 Camaro SS.
