FYI, Not sure which of the LANUG members already receive the emails from the Fort Walton group. Thought you would like to know they will be having a Windows Phone 7 Garage. LANUG is planning for one as well, just don't have the logistics yet.

Our fearless president Kevin has taken a reprieve from his duties for the next few weeks and left me at the helm for this month’s meeting. For those of you I have not met, my name is Bryan Soltis and I am a Senior Software Engineer at Bit-Wizards and a veteran speaker to the Gulf Coast .NET Users Group. I showed up so many times they decided to make me Vice President, which just means the same work with even less money than Kevin gets. There’s a lot of announcements in this months’ newsletter so get ready! July 2011 Meeting Information Our next meeting will be *Thursday, July 21, 2011 from 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM*. Mike Whalen, Lead Web Designer at Bit-Wizards, will be providing an introduction to the jQuery library. Mike is an Addy award winning designer and has created many dynamic, captivating sites using jQuery, .NET, and other web development technologies. Mike will cover the basics of jQuery, implementation, as well some advanced areas and techniques. If you are doing any web development these days you won’t want to miss it! July 2011 Windows Phone Garage The great Joe Healy (Microsoft Developer Evangelist) will be coming up at the end of July to hold a Windows Phone Garage for the Panhandle area on July 28, 2011. Details are still in the works, but the tentative plan is to hold a full 8 hour garage at the Bit-Wizards office where Joe will lay down some serious Windows Phone skills. Be sure to make it to the session to see all the great advancements in the Windows Phone 7 platform and learn how to get started developing your applications from one of the best in the field. We will be sending out more information as it becomes available! Gulf Coast .NET Users Group Windows Phone 7 App Do you want to know about upcoming user group meetings on your Windows Phone? Mike has also created the Gulf Coast .NET Users Group Windows Phone app. The application is available for free in the Windows Phone Marketplace and provides the latest meeting and contact information.
