The Western Mass .NET Users Group is hosting its next monthly meeting
Monday, November 5 at 6:00 PM in Easthampton.  There will be a pizza
dinner and time for socializing.

Programming The Internet - Why HTTP Rocks HTML, XML, Javascript,
ASP.NET, C#, SQL Server 

Building web applications can get pretty involved. But the secret to
building dependable, scalable web apps lies not in any of the typical
technologies or buzzwords, but in an oft-forgotten, sometimes maligned
aspect of the Internet - HTTP programming. It's HTTP programming that
makes web applications from companies like Google, Yahoo, and others so
successful. In this talk, you'll learn how the designers of the HTTP
protocol envisioned the way Internet programming would work.

You'll learn the four parts of every HTTP message; the power of HTTP
methods (and why they are so often ignored); the importance of Content
Types and Status Codes; and how to control how other servers on the
Internet find and store your content. Finally, you'll learn how easy it
can be to use ASP.NET to build programs that take full advantage of
HTTP's power and scalability.If you want to build web apps that rock,
you want to become an HTTP programmer.
