No January Meeting
There’s no January meeting since it falls on January 1, 2008.
See you in February!
More C# powerpoint slides
Here’s more powerpoint slides from the SIG meetings.
In December (4th, 7pm), we’ll do an all-skate on where we’re at with C#.
We’ll try some real world samples, beating the heck out of some Classes and other review topics.
See you there.
It’s taken five years for Microsoft to try and help protect your IP
Finally, Microsoft has announced a product to help protect you Intellectual Property (IP), not just theirs!
Read about Microsoft’s Code protection technology here.
It’s not your father’s obfuscation. It’s called Secure Virtual Machine (SVM), purportedly to be a one-way transformation.
If it’s really secure, then perhaps my customers may embrace the Dot Net platform, because up until now, obfuscation was insufficient to prevent reverse engineering.
Microsoft had supplied a lame version of an Obfuscator along with Visual Studio, but if you wanted the (almost) good stuff, you were out $1000 bucks per developer seat! That;s more then VS itself.
So it’s about time. hope it’s for real. the DotNet platform has so much promise, protecting IP has been what’s stopping it’s adoption for commercial softer.
Now… we have to find out what the commercial version costs. The free download is for evaluation only, it only will do three functions (boo hiss!)
ID SIG hosts Internet Business Roundtable Discussion
Tuesday, September 11, 7PM the Internet Development SIG will be host to a Internet Business Roundtable Discussion.
While all are invited, this roundtable will be of special interest for those
who have been taking June Hollister’s Online Business Classes. The
objectives are:
To share what is and isn’t working for each participant
To critique each other’s sites (if so desired)
To elicit ideas on improvements
Other brainstorming topics
This is a Roundtable, not a class or course. We will view sites live online
of those who want to participate so that the group can discuss.
Participants are welcome to bring their laptops to take notes, and in case
your site isn’t published to the web yet. Please feel free to bring
anything: handouts, notes, questions, etc. that may be of benefit to the
group.

More WP Plugins, Traffic Analysis, CMS and OpenOffice
We explored a lot of territory on Aug 14th, however, I was a bit disappointed with the sparse attendance. Serious webmasters need a maintainable and successful web site, whether it’s a blog, a conventional site or a combination. The material covered, while not always appearing relevant, is in one way or another. I hope that those who attended were able to find at least a bit of take-home information that will better their sites. As promised, here are the PowerPoint slides from the session.

C# Session 2 Power Point Slides Available
For those who attended, I hope you all were able to follow along. We covered chapters 4 and 5, so at the next meeting we’ll cover chapter 6 and possibly chapter 7.
The Powerpoint has chapter 4 in it, so that’s where we’ll pick up.

Installing and Customizing Wordpress part 2
Tuesday, July 10th, we’ll investigate how to take your basic Wordpress installation, add widgets/plugins, tweak it, massage it and make it reflect the individual look and feel to make it your own.
We’l also cover viewing stats for your blog (or any web site) and what they mean, and what they don’t.
If you have any personal tips and success stories on what works well for you, please share them with the group!
If you have any outstanding issues in either installing, hosting, or modifying it, make sure your voice is heard so we can help.
See you there!
C# session 1 Powerpoint slide show available
For those who attended, I hope you all were able to follow along. We only got through chapters 1 through 3, so at the next meeting we’ll cover chapter 4 and possibly chapter 5.
The Powerpoint has chapter 4 in it, so that’s where we’ll pick up.

C# meeting scheduled for July 3rd
July 3rd, we’ll be digging into C# for real. If we can, we’ll attempt to cover the first four chapters (note this is not set in stone!).
If you have a laptop, bring it along, you may work along during the meeting.
Be sure to speak up if you are not grasping something as we progress… I tend to ramble on, full steam ahead and I might not see a raised hand. And don’t feel shy thinking that you may be the only one not “getting it”, the person beside, infront or behind you might not. And finally, don’t hesitiate to correct me if I misstate or am wrong about something … it would be my first (fiscal year July 2007-2008).
