DoEvents - November 2005
To mark the launch this month VBUG, in association with Microsoft, have arranged a series of ‘Launch’ regional meetings which in many cases the meeting is turning into a bit of a party with extra food, drinks and prizes laid on. Each region taking part has volunteered a VBUG member to follow an online training course so that they can report back to the group on all the new features of VS2005. Check out the events listed below to find out which one you are nearest to and don’t miss out. These evening meetings will be the perfect opportunity to get a glimpse into VS2005 but they also tie in well with the VBUG Annual Conference on 22-24 November. To book your place at the conference please call 01753 649681 or Click here for more information.
