If you are in Wellington tonight and want to catch Paul Andrew presenting at a combined .Net/SharePoint user group, then I suggest you head along.
If you don't know Paul, he was my predecessor in DPE here in Wellington (although he focused on ISV's which is Mikes job now). Paul is now Senior Technical Product Manager on the SharePoint team in Redmond.
The abstract, which is very concise is:
Paul Andrew from Microsoft in Redmond will be visiting us to talk about how .NET developers can leverage the Sharepoint platform from within Visual Studio.
You can register at here. The event will be held at Xero - full details here.
