Tuesday will be Renna's and if you are in the area, come by for a slice or two.
Thursday, I will be attending the Architecture SIG. http://www.whiteknighttechnology.com/cs/blogs/bayer_white/archive/2007/10/16/1767.aspx. As more than a few pointed out, there was an error in the recent newsletter mailing. In the mailing (which in most cases has been just a copy of what is posted in http://cs.jaxdug.com/blogs/newsletter/) I neglected to included Microsoft Evangelist Jeff Barnes name when I originally sent it. Don't know why, but I did. I saw it, after I sent it and corrected it in the blog posting. To address any that are curious out there: while Tom Mazur is a good guy, he is not a Microsoft Evangelist, nor do I have the power, ability, or authority to grant Microsoft Evangelism titles. But that could be a nifty trick for parties. At any rate, come on out and support your local development community.

About Jonathan Bates
Jonathan Bates is involved in the local development community, once even serving time as the President of the Jacksonville Developers User Group.
He has had a long and storied path on the way to I.T. work. At one point, Jonathan had a near Neo-Luddite position about computers, believing them at worst to be the means to humanity's eventual slavery and at best tools for general evil. After landing a job powered by such advanced technologies as Windows 3.11 for Workgroups and MS Access, Jonathan began to change his opinion on computers. He began to believe that they might be for more than just improving the display and sound qualities on his Laserdisc movies. In time, he came to see that computers were nothing more than tools, not much different then a hammer (though not as good to drive nails with).
Jonathan Bates is an industry-certified and proven developer and trainer, facilitating the transfer of knowledge from conceptual client request to delivered and implemented solution. Jonathan enjoys sharing his knowledge and understanding about development principals with like-minded people. You can generally find him enjoying good company discussing his personal Unified Theory and how programming can be used to describe it. And if you can't find him, drop him a line with a time and place and he'll find you.
