Software Legends Night – NJ Edition

Just a reminder that the Software Legends Night is coming to Morris Plains, NJ, tonight.

Where: Barnes & Noble in Morris Plains
When: Wednesday, May 28th at 6:30 PM

Due to a scheduling conflict, Jesse Liberty will not be able to attend.  He will be replaced by David Sussman:

Dave Sussman has spent most of his working life as a professional developer, starting his career on the Dark Side as a Unix systems programmer. Seeing the light, he switched to Windows, just before NT 2.0 was released, and began working with Access, VB and SQL Server. Oddly he still remembers SQL Server on OS/2 fondly.

After a short stint as a Trainer and Contractor he switched to writing full time, because it gave him the chance to work from home and not wear a suit. And that's what he's done for the last five years, writing in excess of twenty books for Wrox Press, and also speaking at a variety of conferences.

Most of his attention has been devoted towards data access and Internet technologies, specifically ADO, ADO.NET and ASP.NET. He's been a key author in the Professional ASP and Professional ASP.NET series for Wrox, and has just released 'Beginning Dynamic Web Sites with Web Matrix'

David Platt will also be there:

After reading some student comments on David Platt's classes, we knew that this was not your average class at Harvard University. Mixed in with several "...best class I've ever had" was "I have never learned so much in such a short time, except perhaps when I brought my daughter home from the hospital."

David taught the first Windows, COM and .NET programming courses at Harvard. Current class offerings include .NET for Existing Microsoft Three-Tier Programmers and .NET Web Programming. And while the title may sound funny, after looking at the syllabus for .NET Framework for the Serious Geekery, we know that there is nothing nutty about this professor.
