Expert's Corner
Blast your way through the Summer!

Andrew Troelsen — Intertech Instructor and Partner

How does a FREE 1-day conference on .NET 3.0 / 3.5, Silverlight (ASP.NET Futures), and Visual Studio Team System sound? It’s not too good to be true.  It’s Oxygen Blast ’07

 

Oxygen Blast ’07 is being held September 6, 2007 from 9:00 to 4:00 PM at Microsoft’s Bloomington, MN office.  Lunch is provided, Intertech’s experts are speaking, and Microsoft, Apress, and Intertech have all donated awesome prizes (thousands of $’s in free software, training, and books).   For those of you who’ve attended past Intertech Oxygen Blasts, you know they’re loaded with great content and delivered by stellar presenters.  Seating is limitedRegister early and forward this offer to your to friends and colleagues.  Like our free Oxygen Blast, this newsletter has great free content.

 

In this issue you’ll find an update on the recently proposed H1B bill, a website with free code downloads, and two downloadable articles – one with 63 project management tips and another with a game plan on de-hassling your work day.  Finally, while it’s sort of self-serving, check out the recent feature story on Intertech that was printed in the Star Tribune.

 

Have a Great Summer—See You at Oxygen Blast ’07,

Andrew
