The Canadian Technology Triangle .NET User Group (CTTDNUG) is based in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. This group founded by David Totzke, has been providing educational lectures to Microsoft Developers for over 7 years. After nearly a year of inactivity Cory Fowler came on the scene and offered to help revitalize the group. This group runs with a team of 8 volunteers which all lend a hand in their own way, and is held at their generous Location Sponsor Manulife Financial [25 Water St. Kitchener, Ontario]. CTTDNUG meets on the last Wednesday of every month.
This month’s speaker is Marcel Bradea from Infusion Development. Here’s a little bit about Marcel and his presentation.
