In The Trenches With 3.5

I seriously can't get enough of school. It's only been about a month since I haven't been in some sort of course and I've already got an itch for the next one. I was just sitting here reading through the course abstract for Mr. Donald Belchams Nothin' But .NET Course, and it sounds awesome.

In fact I learned something from just reading the abstract. There's a new collection to toy with, HashSet<T>. It's a generic collection that contains unique elements.

Read here for more info....

Back to what I was saying... Donalds course on C# 3.0 and the .NET 3.5 sounds awesome. If I didn't just start a new course I would definitely be attending... I would so love to attend this course.

So if you're in the Edmonton area or feel like getting down with a lil' 3-5 action you should check it out.

I keep reading all this stuff about courses being to expensive. It does sucks that school can cost so much, but there's no greater investment then in your own growth. If you're passionate about what you do, you need to be a student of your profession, and you need to get in touch with others who are also passionate.

School isn't necessarily for everyone, but the classroom is a great way to foster new ideas and ways of thinking. Getting away from the hard deadlines and added pressures of a work environment and focusing on the "fun" is what school should be about. I'm excited to read all the posts about the course afterwards, it sounds like it'll be a lot of fun. If anything, Mr. Donald should be able to put you in touch with some of the great community up in Edmonton.

In my humble opinion, you can't afford NOT to go!
