Welcome to the Indy ALT.NET Community!

We are an ALT.NET group based in Indianapolis and we will meet the third Thursday of the month with the main event beginning at 6pm. We welcome anybody and everybody who works with .NET technology, design patterns, system architecture, or anything else us geeks work with and would like to improve! We typically meet at Ivy Tech on the north side of town at Meridian and Fall Creek but sometimes meet elsewhere so be sure to check in monthly!
 
Come join us!

Managing Technical Debt Fishbowl

Date/Time: 
Thursday, January 21, 2010 - 5:30pm

NEW LOCATION! See the details below!!
We all want to create the perfectly-designed systems, who doesn't? But unfortunately, this is not always a reality. We want to spend an extra week to make sure a certain module is nice and tidy, but you simply cannot afford a week delay to the deadline to do this. What do you do? You know that leaving it a mess is the quick approach and that when you release, the system will still work just fine. But you also know that's not the right thing to do. You know leaving it this way will come back to bite you. For this exact reason, this is why we call these sorts of shortcuts (and many others) Technical Debt. You benefit from it now only to pay for it later.

Mobile Development (iPhone, Windows Mobile, and Android)

Date/Time: 
Thursday, December 17, 2009 - 5:30pm

The mobile development craze comes to Indy ALT.NET! We've got the three hottest platforms that are competing for consumers' money - iPhone, Android, and Windows Mobile - and we'll compare and contrast application development for each of them, as well as their respective centralized application marketplaces and what it takes to submit your apps to them.
Pizza Holiday feast (complete with roast beast and more!) and chatter are at 5:30, and the technology discussions begin at 6PM.

Security Fishbowl

Date/Time: 
Thursday, November 19, 2009 - 5:30pm

Time for another fishbowl.  W00t!
This time we're going to talk about security.  And yes, you're right, that is COMPLETELY vague, that's kind of the point.
Ryan will moderate us, keep us on track, and provide us with other gentle prodding as necessary.
If you have any topics you'd like to talk about in particular, please, come with them in mind, or post them in the comments here.
Pizza will arrive around 5:30, and the fishbowl will start around 6:00.
