On the 9th of July, 2012 Sigma Ukraine became a co-organizer and sponsor of the 15th .NET User Group meeting in Odesa.

The event at SHAG Computer Academy gathered more than 100 listeners and two technological speeches. During two years of existence .NET User Group meeting has become one of the most favorite events among Microsoft technologies professionals in Odesa. Every event is a great opportunity for mature specialists as well as for students to express their opinion on hot technological topics, share experience and gain new knowledge. Meetings are held in a friendly informal atmosphere where questions may be asked during the speeches, while speakers widely use coding examples and other ways of sharing knowledge.

“By tradition, two or three reports are presented during the meeting, accompanied by active discussions with the audience; at the end of each event sponsoring companies play small prizes among visitors,” says Anastasia Kladova, Sigma Ukraine PR manager.

Dmitriy Gorodnitskiy was first to speak on developing applications for Kinect. Dmitriy spoke about the touch controller from Microsoft and made several live demonstrations. Second speech, devoted to ASP.NET Scaffolding, was made by a well-known Ukrainian speaker ASP.NET MVP Alexander Krakovetskiy.

“We are very pleased to support Odesa .NET User Group meetings, and extend cooperation with SHAG Computer Academy, helping young specialists build their career,” says Valery Krasovsky, Sigma Ukraine COO. “As this year we will hold second NETwork conference, which is mostly devoted to Microsoft technologies, it is very nice to see how .NET professionals’ community continues to grow in terms of activity and technological competence.”
