Unprecedented .NET 3.0 NetSeminar and Roadshow
New Core Technology Drives Record-Breaking
NetSeminar Attendance

San Francisco — September 29, 2006 — Dr. Dobb's launched its .NET Framework 3.0 educational series earlier this month with a hugely successful NetSeminar entitled ".NET 3.0: It's Just Down the Road." This one-hour NetSeminar, hosted by Dr. Dobb's Editorial Director Jonathan Erickson, and featuring Juval Löwy, one of the .NET/Windows industry's foremost experts, examined the core aspects of this new and important technology expected to revolutionize how .NET programmers develop Web applications.

"The response to our .NET 3.0 NetSeminar was exciting," commented Erickson. "This was one of our most well attended online events ever and it is clear that software developers want to master this new technology in order to stay competitive in their field."

".NET 3.0: It's Just Down the Road" is available On-Demand through March 8, 2007. Register at http://www.ddj.com/dept/windows/192500176.
