Apress User Group Spotlight
Great Lakes Area .NET User Group (GANG)
The Great Lakes Area .NET User Group was founded in November 2001
by John Hopkins, Darrell Hawley, and Martin Shoemaker to provide
educational and networking resources for local .NET developers in
response to the lack of an organized .NET community in Michigan.
GANG was the first technology focused user group formed in
Michigan and was one of the first user groups to join INETA. GANG
has been an active Apress User Group Program member since 2004
and meets monthly at the Microsoft Southfield office. The group’s
meetings includes presentations that covers a wide range of
topics, from details of the framework to the soft skills involved
in managing projects. GANG is a volunteer-driven,
developer-focused organization, which welcomes all developers
from the Ann Arbor area. Check out their calendar for details on
upcoming meetings.
