The Central Ohio Day of .NET is a joint venture between the Dayton .NET Developers Group, Central Ohio .NET Developers Group, Cincinnati SQL Server Users Group and the Cincinnati .NET Users Group. The event originally was called the Cincinnati-Dayton Area Code camp and ran in 2006 and 2007 under that name. With the inclusion of the Columbus And CincySQL group the event has been renamed to the Central Ohio Day of .NET. The event is a FREE day of technology discussions devoted to helping the local development community grow. Please check back often for more information about Day of .NET events.

Central Ohio Day of .NET 2009!

The Cincinnati .Net Users Group, Central Ohio .NET Developers Group, Dayton .Net Developers Group and Cincinnati SQL Users Group will be hosting this year's Central Ohio Day of .NET on April 18th, 2009. The event will be held at the Roberts Centre in Wilmington, OH (off exit 50 on I-71).

Keynote

Josh Holmes from Microsoft will be kicking off our event with a keynote about "The Lost Art of Simplicity":

"Simplicity is a lost art in the application development space. The Wikipedia definition of Simplicity is “Simplicity is the property, condition, or quality of being simple or un-combined. It often denotes beauty, purity or clarity. Simple things are usually easier to explain and understand than complicated ones. Simplicity can mean freedom from hardship, effort or confusion."

This is a beautiful statement that we often lose sight of when we are building our applications. Instead we are on a never ending quest to fill out a checklist of features or to build something clever forgetting about the actual needs of our users to get a specific task done.

This keynote takes complexity to task and challenges you to bring simplicity to the center of your development with some straightforward ideas and guidance.
