----------------------------------- iker Wed Mar 15, 2006 7:06 pm Microsoft Visual Studio Develop Mental Tour 2006 ----------------------------------- 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. [url=http://www.microsoft.com/canada/developmental/default.aspx]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 [url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/default.aspx]free stuff to. Its basically them just marketing their product. Check it out if your interested. ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Mar 15, 2006 7:42 pm ----------------------------------- I've posted about this, when [url=http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=11523]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. :lol: ----------------------------------- Brightguy Wed Mar 15, 2006 11:29 pm Re: Microsoft Visual Studio Develop Mental Tour 2006 ----------------------------------- I just want to know how Microsoft heard about Algoma U in the first place. :lol: Strangely, they're going to be the first North American school to offer a masters in "computer gaming"... whatever that means. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Wed Mar 15, 2006 11:59 pm Re: Microsoft Visual Studio Develop Mental Tour 2006 ----------------------------------- Strangely, they're going to be the first North American school to offer a masters in "computer gaming"... whatever that means. Learn the art of PWNing noobs? Forget CompSci, I'm going there. ----------------------------------- chrispminis Thu Mar 16, 2006 12:16 pm ----------------------------------- Lol Develop Mental... ----------------------------------- iker Fri Mar 17, 2006 7:47 pm ----------------------------------- Went to the presentation today, very well done, great information, free Visual C # Express (not the whole Visual Studio as advertised :x), 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. ----------------------------------- Dan Fri Mar 17, 2006 9:39 pm ----------------------------------- I guse the brian washing works............ ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Fri Mar 17, 2006 9:48 pm ----------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------- Tony Fri Mar 17, 2006 11:53 pm ----------------------------------- but my friend won a Infusion shirt that says Code Hero... 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) ----------------------------------- iker Sat Mar 18, 2006 12:15 am ----------------------------------- but my friend won a Infusion shirt that says Code Hero...
