London .NET User Group:Community Retrospective on a Decade of .NET
Community Retrospective on a Decade of .NET
It has been 10 years now since the notion of "write once run anywhere" was challenged by the idea of "write in anything and run on Windows". Microsoft continues to innovate and embrace trends set by the open source community and small organisations that are more able to do one thing and do it well. The task is becoming more difficult with the sheer number of platforms and their variations.

It is time for a community-wide .NET retrospective to help answer a few questions. What were the best and worst .NET advancements over the past 10 years? How have best advancements contributed to better software? What were the biggest disappointments; how and why have they let us down?

This meeting of the London .NET User Group will consist of a series of park bench discussions where you can challenge or defend your favourite aspects of .NET and expose your greatest disappointments. The aim is to gain better insight on where Microsoft is going with .NET and where do we need to invest out time.
