The Programmers SIG is a group dedicate to exchanging ideas and information on software programming. Most members work in the “component” paradigm made popular by Visual Basic, Delphi, ASP, and ASP.Net.
Our group has in the past focused mainly on Windows based, thick client, programming. The industry has moved to web based, thin client, for software and services delivery. It is time for us to shift our focus to these technologies.
Moving forward, our discussions will be dominated by web based technologies. In particular, those that support the component paradigm that we are so familiar with. Visual Studio, Prism, ASP.Net, CCS, Java Script and other related web technologies are the focus of our meetings.
We meet the first Wednesday of each month except January and July. We usually meet at the Inter American Development Bank in downtown Washington, 2 blocks from Metro Center, at 7 PM.
