Don't Just Take Our Word For It

We could talk until we are blue in the face about how great Visual Studio Live! (VSLive!^TM) is, and how crucial it is for you to get the most relevant, up-to-date, and unbiased education as working developers.

But don't just take it from us, here's what our attendees, speakers, and keynotes had to say at Visual Studio Live! Las Vegas and Visual Studio Live! Chicago recently:

Why Attend Visual Studio Live!? Visual Studio Live! is the choice for .NET developers who want the best unbiased content, access to speakers, networking opportunities, and training that will help them become better software developers.
