I've posted about this, when Microsoft came to Waterloo. Same tour.
If anything, you get a pretty awesome book on C#, so come out for that. I think Andy wants one.

Didn't know if anyone even heard of this, or if its a little late to be posted, but Microsoft is holding a develop mental tour for their visual studio product. Theres only one "session" left, and its in Sault Ste. Marie this friday at Algoma U. Heres a link for the signup. Don't know if this will be helpfull to many, seeing as how about 3 users here are from the SSM area. Anyways, its free, and the first 250 people I think get free stuff to. Its basically them just marketing their product. Check it out if your interested. |

I just want to know how Microsoft heard about Algoma U in the first place.
Strangely, they're going to be the first North American school to offer a masters in "computer gaming"... whatever that means. |

Went to the presentation today, very well done, great information, free Visual C # Express (not the whole Visual Studio as advertised  ), Build a Program Now (the introductory book), and i received a free case of 7up... Didn't win the XBOX 360, but my friend won a Infusion shirt that says Code Hero... Anyways, learnt alot about 3D gaming and now I'm going to start using VC# instead of turing, and stop learning Java. |

I guess so. Who can resist free stuff? Still better C# than Turing, and some might say Java. Can't say how successful you will be in the transition, though. |

Heh, they were giving them out to everybody at Waterloo. I've got two. I guess they started to run out later in the tour (turnout at UW was more than expected) |
