  Topic: Care About Your Craft – Adventures in the art of software development Whether you are writing your application in C# or Javascript, we are always looking for continuous improvement and to take a more pragmatic approach to our craft. These are lessons learned from past applications and projects, with an influence from the Pragmatic Programmer and many mentors, that will help build a positive culture around your projects. Speaker: Tim Wingfield Tim has been involved in web design and development for over 10 years. For the last three years Tim has been a developer with the Business Solutions Group at Quick Solutions Inc. in Columbus, OH. Tim has a wide range of knowledge in .Net but focuses on the user interface and the user experience in ASP.Net applications. He has been involved with many successful projects for clients in health care, government, and consumer services, among others. In what time is left over, Tim enjoys coaching his sons' hockey teams, playing a little hockey himself, and traveling with his family.

• devLink 2008 – Are you going?

  If you're not already planning to attend devLink in Nashville, I would HIGHLY recommend that you consider it. It's a two day conference in Nashville (August 22 – 23) and the cost is incredibly low: $50 before July 4 and $75 after. In order to cut costs further, some of our fellow .NETters in Arkansas are considering getting a bus together and picking some of us up on the way to the conference, so if you're interested in riding that bus, let me know at cneller@mnug.net I hope to see you there!
