I would be very interested in attending a presentation on .Net, especially from someone not affiliated with Microsoft. We've recently undertaken a project in conjunction with the Library to take our book files that were typeset in Quark Xpress, and repurpose them as XML files using a cataloging DTD. Still experimental.

On XML? Please forward to application developers, Webmasters, etc... I've been in touch with a nationally known trainer on .Net, as to the possibility of giving an overview of the subject here at MSU. This would be a bird's eye view of .Net -- what it is, what you can do with it, some examples of how people are using it already. It'd be a 2 hour or so presentation. This would NOT be a sales presentation but rather a technical and practical overview. It would not be an endorsement of Net. The speaker is not affiliated with Microsoft. Would you please send me a private note if this would interest you? Would you prefer this before or after classes start? _____ In a meeting this afternoon the question arose of how much XML activity there is on campus, and what folks in various departments might be doing with XML. If you're doing an XML project and would be willing to share your experiences, would you please drop me a private note? (or if you wish discuss it here...) Thanks much, /rich
