Programmer's Edge

Yes you can! It’s totally true! Besides doing #sqlsat51 in Nashville this weekend there are not one but TWO webcasts that you can get some FREE training from next week from the comfort of your climate controlled offices!

The first is on Tuesday and covers EF 4.0

We will be giving away a $50.00 Amazon gift certificate!

Entity Framework 4.0 !

With the recent release of Visual Studio 4.0, Microsoft has released their next iteration of the Entity Framework. For those of you whom have held off learning the new platform, now is the time to jump in. This version of the EF has tons of new features that developers have been clamoring for since the 1.0 release. We’ll cover things like: development approaches (code-first, model-first, database first), T4 code generation, persistence ignorance, lazy loading, and much more! Join us to see what you have been missing out on!

For those of you that don’t know the XRMVirtualUserGroup(http://www.xrmvirtual.com/ ) covers all things related to XRM(CRM) and is coordinated by the (in)famous Julie Yack(MVP) (http://julieyack.com/)  from an undisclosed location deep in the Colorado mountainside. The virtual group is fairly large I believe with over 1000 members internationally…….so you may be asking yourself why you haven’t joined yet??…….yes, it is because you are a noob so stop wasting time and just do it!
