Re: New C# Developers Group

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Jon, each one has its own purpose. We certainly don't get contended with
reading one book on a particular subject. We might learn something from each
source. Isn't that the purpose of writing and reading different books? We
have newsgroups for all MS techonlogies here. Then, why is there a huge forum
in MSDN, another one in asp.net, not to mention several other forums?

The C# developer group is similar to any .net related newsgroup, except
that, based on the growth, there might be user events in the future. But that
doesn't prevent anyone from anywhere to share knowledge.

My group is aspiring to be a good usergroup defined by Microsoft techinical
communities and INETA.

Thanks,
Balaji K.
