User Groups

I have always attended user groups and have found them to be an excellent way to learn and network. I've done many presentations at user groups over the year, which has only added to the value of user groups for me.

.NET

Dayton .NET Developers Group

Cincinnati .NET Users Group

Other

Cincinnati Programmers' Guild - The Programmers' Guild is an interesting group because it is technology neutral. It has presentations of interest to programmers working in various languages and the group itself has members who work in a number of different languages.

Agile Round Table (Cincinnati) - The Agile Round Table is the former XP Cincinnati group, that has recently focused on Ruby, but covers a variety of languages and topics in agile development. I do not attend this group as often as I would like, but I always enjoy the meetings when I do attend.
