presented by Kathleen Dollard

Can't Get Enough .NET?

If you are a .NET developer or an information technology professional with a thirst for knowledge and you live in the Springfield, Illinois, area, then the Sangamon Valley .NET User Group (SVNUG) is for you! SVNUG offers local Microsoft technologists the opportunity to connect with other local technology professionals in a fun and engaging environment that emphasizes the power of the group's collective knowledge and experience. SVNUG also provides local .NET professionals with the opportunity to present on technology topics near and dear to them—from EF4 and WCF to MEF to Silverlight 4, WPF, and ASP.NET MVC and much more. Presentations are a great way for members to build their industry knowledge, skill sets, and resumes.

Join Us! See what a difference working together can make.

Stuff Not Fluff

The Sangamon Valley .NET User Group (SVNUG) is about working together to explore new and facinating .NET technologies using real-world knowledge and expertise—no more, no less. SVNUG will never be about vendors selling you third-party components or recruiters soliciting you to join their ranks. You will never be sold anything at SVNUG—except the opportunity to explore .NET technology in an open and collaborative environment. SVNUG is about stuff, not fluff.
