Mark your calendars!
On the evening of Monday November 12th, from 6pm-10pm we will be welcoming 3 very special guests here in Northwest Arkansas. Carl, Richard and Matt will be presenting and recording a *live episode* of the popular .Net Rocks Podcast for the monthly Northwest Arkansas .Net User Group meeting. This is a free, open to the public, event being held at the St. Mary’s Center for Non-Profits in Rogers. This will be an excellent time to network with fellow professionals in the area as well as listen to some great speakers (food and prizes will also be available). Please register for the event so that we have enough food.
