History


The start ...

It all started on a cold (75 degree) day in Chandler back in January of 2008, when a few developers talked about wanting a Tech Lunch close to the Chandler area...  The Southeast Valley .NET user group started with the goal of providing a easier to get to location for .NET in the southeast part of the valley.  We want to make it easier for people of Tempe, Chandler, Case Grande, Mesa, and Queen Creek to get together.
