We are organising a gathering of Alt.Net enthusiasts on the 31st this month at Skills Matter offices. We’ll do seven talks in total with beer and pizza during the break, and then go out for beers and socialising. Here’s the programme for the talks:

NHibernate - Ian Cooper
PowerShell - Zi Makki
OpenRasta - Sebastian Lambla
Castle Windsor - Mike Hadlow
Rhino Mocks - Chris Roff
NServiceBus - David De Florinier
Subversion - Gojko Adzic

The event is free but the number of places is limited. Apparently about half of the places are already taken and Skills Matter have not yet started to advertise it seriously, so if you were planning to come to the event make sure to register soon. For more info and to register click here.
