Mitch Wheat - Treat the cause, not the symptoms!

Join us at the Perth .NET User Group Thurs, April 7th where Andrew Coates will demonstrate LightSwitch, a new product in the Visual Studio family aimed at developers who want to easily create business applications for the desktop or the cloud. LightSwitch simplifies the development process by letting you concentrate on the business logic, while LightSwitch handles the common tasks for you.

We’ll also go beyond the basics of creating simple screens over data and demonstrate how to create screens with more advanced capabilities
