Deerfield Beach Coders Cafe - 2015-03-17 6:30 PM - Whats New in ASP .net 5 - Cecil Phillip

ASP.NET 5 has been called one of the most substantial updates to the framework since moving from classic ASP. In this session we’ll look at some of the updates and new concepts added to improve the developer experience. We’ll also discuss what this new release means for your existing investments in ASP.NET. Along the way, we’ll cover topics like MVC6, CoreCLR, NuGet and the new dependency injection system.

You can often find him hanging out with other members of the dotNet Miami User Group or speaking at various developer events within the state. Currently, he specializes in building solutions utilizing C#, ASP.NET, Xamarin, NodeJS and Azure. He has a passion for software architecture, interoperability, and testing.

Palm Beach IT Users Group, 10 March 2015

Comments from the Group:

Well, for those of you who did not attend last night’s meeting, you missed a great presentation! Danielle, as always, presented the ZOHO CRM package like no other! Not only is this product easy to use (and configure), but it’s rich in features that you would have to spend a fortune on with one of its competitors like Autotask or Connectwise. For more info, please contact Danielle directly by visiting her website at http://www.kicrm.com. Do yourself the favor of starting to use this product with Danielle’s assistance, or have her migrate you off one of the other competing products and not only save money, by time and stress as well. Thank you Danielle for showcasing this for us!

I would like to also thank our host, Jennifer Cohen-Louth of Windstream Communications, for continuing to allow our group to have our meetings at her office. Thanks Jennifer!

Not only did we have a surprise visit from our user group founder, Dave O’Keefe, but he also was bearing gifts (actually, it was a huge birthday cake). Thanks for the cake Dave; it was really delicious and always great to see you!

Last, but not least, I want to thank Dave Lord for being our user group “paparazzi” or (media mogul) who constantly posts not only our meeting presentation, but the pictures on his blog as well.

Ok, now that the sugar rush from the cake is finally wearing off, I realized that I forgot to ask the people who attend last night what other type of food they would like for dinner instead of Panera’s. Please post some suggestions here so that I can mix it up for next month’s meeting. Please note: if you were not at the meeting, you can’t suggest a different choice for dinner.

With that, I would finally like to thank everyone who made the effort and showed up for Danielle’s presentation. I’m sure that no one left without learning something new.

Regards,

John Vighetto

Danielle had great presentation last night.    I looked at your website this morning, ..... but you probably already know that.    Group.....she has some serious tracking via the zoho apps!!!
Thanks, I learned alot.   Now to find time to put that into practice....

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to everyone that came out ... and even those that wanted but couldn't!

I appreciate being able to talk about and share my passion for CRM and Zoho...  I am a true Zoholic!

Thank you to Jenn for hosting the meeting and John for putting it together.  Dave, you are soooooo appreciated with the writeups and blog postings!
Feel free to reach out to me for additional information on the CRM, Helpdesk/zSupport/Ticket System, zProjects, zDocs, zMail, zBooks, zStalker ( :)  ) or any of the other Zoho products!  I am thrilled to spread my enthusiasm!!

additional info:  itDuzzit has an integration for Autotask and zoho crm:  http://cloud.itduzzit.com/pricing/

there are some third party integrators for zoho crm and quickbooks online as well - not really for the desktop edition.

Danielle Major

Thanks to John and Jen for making these meetings happen and Danielle for the valuable information. I took lots of notes and look forward to implementing them. The MAM was great too as the Zoho discussion continued as well as other pc and non-pc topics as well to liven things up even more.

Happy belated birthday to John and Danielle!

Well, It was quite an evening !  And here is the Photo Essay  !

Palm Beach IT Users Group Meeting at and sponsored by: Windstream 7121 Fairway Drive, Suite 101 Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33418 17 February 2015

From PBIT Group  Organizer, John Vighetto:

I wanted to thank everyone who made it out tonight, as well as all who shared their little “secret” with all of us. I also want to thank Jennifer for consistently hosting our meetings at Windstream Communications; thanks once again Jen.

It was good to hear from people about what they want to see at future meetings. For everyone who did not have the opportunity to participate, we want to hear from you too. Please either post back to this email or send me a private message on what vendor, technology, or new & emerging geek thing you think the group would like to see a presentation on. I’ll then be able to generate a list for us to pick from, and it would be sincerely appreciated by all.

One last thing; I’m posting a picture that Adam had a small discussion about and was entertaining (See below). Until next month, hope everyone has a great time working in IT!

Congratulatulations to  Pat for winning the external USB DVD burner, and to Robert for winning the D-Link security web camera.

Well, for the first presentation/meeting of the year, this was the first time in a long time that everyone that registered had the opportunity to show up! Thanks to all that came out.

Brian did an excellent job of covering all of the modules of the GFI Max Service Desk, and his presentation was not only very detailed, but extremely informative. He compared GFI to other current RMM systems out there and it’s a very reasonable solution for many of the people in the group. Thanks again for the presentation Brian!

Also want to thank, as always, Jennifer of Windstream for hosting our meetings at her office. We couldn’t do it without you!

Glad to see that Kenan Klos of Klos Consulting sent one of his techs (Joseph Riling) to check out the presentation and the group.

Finally, for those of you that paid for this year’s annual membership; thank you. For those of you that didn’t, please bring your membership dues next month or you will not be allowed into the meeting. For the people that just paid for last night’s meeting: if you want to bring the balance of $180 to the next meeting you can be paid in full for the year and save yourself $40 (just saying).

Check back on our website because we will hopefully have the new site up and running very soon (I know that many of you have heard me say this the entire year last year, but it’s actually happening)! See you next month.

I thought that but you have to be there to know the stories about the M&Ms. I don't think any of the original story and later ones that go with the pictures made the audio recording. :)

Palm Beach IT Users Group Annual Holiday Party!

(John Vighetto)  I want to thank everyone who showed up tonight, and it was great meeting Adam's wife, Andrea, and Ratzil's wife, Karen. Hopefully, we weren't too boring for you ladies!

This year's Grab My Package was a big hit, and I'm pretty sure that everyone got exactly what they wanted (or picked). We'll know for sure one Dave Lord posts the pictures he took on his blog.

A special thanks to Valerie, the general manager of Roxy's, for allowing us to have our get together for the 4th year now, and also Jamie the bartender and Katrina our hostess. Our 50/50 this year was won by Richard Battin (doesn't he win every time he comes...?!), with the other half of money going to the Roxy staff as a small thank you for their help in making this a huge success!

Thank you to all that attended and hope you enjoyed yourselves; I know i did!

Until next year, wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy, Healthy & Prosperous New Year!

(Adam Swartz) 

Good time last night. Hope you guys all took a walk down Clematis Street to see the Sandi Land Christmas Tree (big pile of sand with lights..LOL)  http://wpb.org/sand-and-sea-sun/

(Greg Kirkpatrick)  Yes, it would be important to see this before the next hard rain.

(Ratzil Rodriguez)  John, thank you for putting this extraordinary party together and all other involved. We certainly had a great time!
(John Vighetto) 
If I'm not mistaken, the city has "treated" the sand for such weather conditions. 

 

 (Lynne Keane)

Agreed! It was a lot of fun J

(Sergio) John,Had a good time. Thanks for organizing not only the party but the monthly events. Kudos.

(Robert Oliva)

(Danielle Major)

John, you done an excellent job yet again!
Thank you very much for putting all of this together and for all that you do for the group!
It was fun seeing everyone.   Thanks for making the evening so much fun, y ' all!
