Just a quick heads-up…
Packt Publishing is giving 50% off all eBooks and videos through Thursday, 10/17/2013 with code: COL50. Just head over to their site with this link:

The code can be used for multiple purchases during the sale period.
Enjoy!
Thanks again to everyone who came out last night. The First State .NET user group has been rebooted and is coming on strong. Upcoming meetings will feature Nik Molnar and Jeff Fritz. I hope too see lots of you there!
You can get the slide deck for my talk here: http://sdrv.ms/1c8JYdg. It’s a modified version of the slide deck available in the APIMASH GitHub repository.
The slides contain all the links you will need to get up and running with the starter kits, but here are a few that I would like to highlight.
Get the starter kits on GitHub
Learn about the kits from Bob Familiar
Watch demos of the kits on Channel 9
Learn about Red Gate’s new Deployment Manager
Big thanks go out to the folks at Red Gate for providing some licenses to give away at the meeting last night!
In case you missed my link to Steve Michelotti’s post about C-Sharpen Up in this morning’s Dew Drop, you can read that here. Here’s a blurb:
On October 6th, I’ll be presenting at C-Sharpen Up at Philly.NET at the Microsoft Malvern, PA location. I’ll be presenting along with Stephen Bohlen, Andy Schwam, and Danilo Diaz.
This is an encore presentation of the popular C-Sharpen Up event held by the Philly .NET User Group this past spring. Don’t be fooled, this is not an Intro to C#. This event is aimed at developers who are experienced in C# and want to take their skills to the next level. Learn some LINQ, Lambdas, SOLID principles and unit testing practices from some of the best in the region.
The event is on 10/6 from 8:00am – 4:30pm, and it will very likely sell out. Go! Register now! Tell ‘em I sent you. You won’t get a prize for that, but you might get a dirty look or two.
