I attended the June Houston .NET User Group meeting tonight. There were about 55 people in attendance which is a pretty good turnout. Still enough people to keep me from winning any door prizes.

The sponsor was Pariveda Solutions, an information services technology company.

Michael Steinberg , the HDNUG President, gave a high-level talk on the new features SQL Sever 2008. His talk was followed by an overview of Windows Server 2008 and IIS 7, given by John Hellman, the HDNUG Vice President.

All in all, it was an evening of great information.
