Microsoft has introduced a new program to support local user groups.

We'll be announcing some special offers for group members. Be sure to check them out to help support our group!

 

We are pleased to announce the establishment of the User Groups of New York organization.

User Groups of New York aims to gather like-minded IT professionals and software developers around the region to network and interact regardless of discipline, interests or industry. While the core geographic focus is the New York state area, the hope is to include a reach to New York City and cities in neighboring states.

We are proud to join together with other user groups in the region in an effort to create unity and opportunity for growth.

You can find out more on the User Groups of New York web site: http://www.ugny.org

 

 

The Western New York .NET User Group is transitioning to Microsoft Developers of Western New York (MSDevWNY) to reach developers of all Microsoft platforms, tools and other technologies.

Sign up for activities and events via Meetup: http://www.meetup.com/MSDevWNY/

You can also follow MSDevWNY on Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/MSDevWNY

The web site can be found here: http://www.msdevwny.org

 

 

The Western New York .NET Users Group is expanding its focus to reach not just .NET developers, but developers that develop for all Microsoft platforms, tools and technologies. While many of the faces will be the same, we hope to draw in even more local developers.

The new group is called Microsoft Developers of Western New York - MSDevWNY.

 

 

After a brief haitus, we are pleased to announce that the WNY .Net Users Group is back.

Thanks to Jim O'Neil at Microsoft for all the help and support!

We'd like to thank all of the sponsors that have stepped up to show support for this group. We encourage visitors to check out the Sponsors page and follow the links to their products and services.

We'll have a couple small meetings to finish off the year, and will start fresh in the new year with a solid lineup of topics and speakers.

Stay tuned!
