This time around the DevChat will also be held in the major cities and the one I’m particularly interested in is the Joburg one. Now being my pushy self I decided to ask my manager whether we can go as we will hopefully be designing our current systems into VS2008. It looks like its going to be an awesome day and I cannot wait. Just hoping that some of the people I know will also be attending. Yes I’m speaking to you Craig, Andre, Johan and Gavin!

The space is limited so book your seat quick before there aren’t any seats left. It promises to be a very entertaining day at the Microsoft building in Bryanston. Here is the schedule for the day:
