	New Jersey Dev Dinner - Thursday August 24th, 2006 It has been a very long time since we last had a New Jersey Developers Dinner, but that is going to change this week.  Any Information Technology professional (developer or ITPro) that lives or works in New Jersey is welcome to attend the NJDD.  The date is August 24, 6PM, at the Harvest Moon in New Brunswick, NJ.  The only people guaranteed to be there is ScottW and myself, but we always seem to attract at least a few others. The Harvest Moon has free wireless internet, great beer, and good food, and you know you have nothing else to do this Thursday, so why don’t you stop on by and commiserate with some others working in your profession of choice.  Odds are we will be chatting about the next New Jersey Code Camp (and maybe the next NYC, Boston & Richmond Code Camps too), what’s going on in the blogging world, and others technology tidbits.  Oh, and in case you missed it, one of the founders of the Code Camp idea is leaving and heading to Redmond.  Yep, Thom Robbins is leaving his Developer Evangelist for New England and is relocating to Redmond. Please leave a comment if you plan on attending. Share this post: email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it! | live it!

Good idea - haven't been to a user group in a long time and this sounds like a good way to get yer geek on for a few hours.

I was going to say that for once, I'll be on time, but, right now, that's looking iffy.... BTW, if you mis-type the CATPCHA, it blanks the comment field. August 24, 2006 1:27 PM Rachit said: Dang it!

About donxml

I’m an independent consultant, specializing in .Net solutions architecture, based out of New Jersey who also doubles as an evangelist for XML, Domain Driven Design, enterprise architecture and .Net. I do not work for Microsoft, the W3C or any other big company that you may know of (at least not yet). I’ve been an indie for over ten years, and although I’ve been tempted a couple times to take a job with companies like Microsoft, I’ve haven’t found something better than my current situation. I work mostly with the large pharmaceuticals that are based here in New Jersey, and usually find myself on long term contracts. Definitely not the prototypical indie consultant, but it lets me dedicate time to my non-income generating activities like the developer community stuff, plus financing open source projects like XPathmania and MVP-XML. If you would like to talk to me about doing some contract work, just contact me via the contact page. My rates vary widely, depending on lots of different variables, but mostly distance from Jersey, and type of work. Plus, I’ve been known to donate some of my code for various projects.
