I am pleased to see that the chaps over at the NxtGenUG are having their first developer festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s early days, but the speaker line-up<\/a> promises to be super (you should expect nothing less of the chaps at NxtGenUG!) The session abstracts<\/a> are taking shape too!<\/p>\n

Here’s what the chaps have to say:<\/p>\n

The NxtGenUG boys are pleased to announce their very first One-Day Event. We\u2019re not calling it a conference, as we want it to be more than that! We want it to be a day to remember, and another annual highlight for the UK Developer Community.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s called NxtGenUG Fest 07 and the initial details are at http:\/\/www.nxtgenug.net\/fest07. The event will take place at Microsoft UK Headquarters at Thames Valley Park (TVP) on Wednesday 23rd May 2007 and starts at 0900. Food will be provided and we want everybody to go home with a decent amount of quality \u2018swag\u2019.<\/p>\n

The day has a theme: \u201cInto the future \u2026\u201d. We start the day looking at current technologies such as Vista, then we move into the \u2018Orcas\u2019 time-frame, then to 12 months hence or so, probably taking a look at dynamic languages and then really moving out into \u2018who knows\u2019 with a session from Microsoft Research. There will be a keynote, with an appearance from UK DPE manager Kevin McDaniel and words from the NxtGenUG crew and finally the day will finish with a new \u2018Game Show\u2019 style session courtesy of NxtGenUG featuring an awful lot of \u2018swag\u2019! <\/p>\n

We\u2019re absolutely chuffed to bits to announce that the \u2018headline\u2019 speaker is top TechEd speaker Rafal Lukawiecki<\/a> and we will also be joined by Daniel Moth<\/a> and Mike Taulty<\/a> (perhaps) of the UK DPE<\/a> and also by Lorna Brown<\/a> from Microsoft Research. We have one more speaker to announce too, which we hope to do next week.<\/p>\n

At lunchtime there will be \u2018Grok\u2019 talks presented by NxtGenUG members, on a variety of subjects to be announced.<\/p>\n

This event is FREE to all fully paid-up NxtGenUG members and a mere \u00a354.99 for non-members until 1 March 2007, check out the URL for more details. Numbers are strictly limited (we know … everybody says that \u2026 but we really mean it this time – 230 tops!) so register early is our advice!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
