After the success of last year's Progressive .NET Tutorials, we are organising another one this year, featuring three days of tutorials on progressive .net software development.

The Progressive.NET Tutorials is an annual event for the .NET architect and developer community. If you want to learn the latest ideas, technologies and best practices for the development of scalable enterprise systems, using modern technologies and software development practices, these Tutorials are for you!

Gojko Adzic has agreed to be the programme lead and is currently working with the Progressive.NET Team to put an inspiring programme together.

To maximise the learning experience, we have limited the number of attendees again to 125 people. So expect an intimate event with lots of room for discussion and interaction with the Progressive.NET Team and other community members! So far, we have sold 81 tickets, so if you like to join us, get your skates on and register today!

Stay tuned

Not sure if you should come? Not sure how to convince your manager?
Perhaps a read this post by Dylan Beattie on A Manager’s Perspective - Why Attend Progressive.NET Tutorials?" (thank you Dylan!). Here's the short version:

I'm Dylan Beattie. I've been programming professionally for over 10 years, I’ve run a software team for 5 years. I believe that the SkillsMatter Progressive.NET tutorials offer more knowledgeable speakers, more relevant content, and better value for money than any other paid training course I have ever attended – and I believe that the skills learned at these tutorials will almost immediately result in improved productivity and better-quality software.
