Talbott Crowell, co-author of Wrox's Professional F#, will speak on his experiences with F# from his perspective as a seasoned C# developer. He also has experience with Silverlight and F#, so those with an interest in graphics could ask him about it. Since C# is very similar to Java, those with Java experience should feel at home.

Talbott is a Solution Architect at ThirdM who designs and builds enterprise applications with a focus on Microsoft technologies including SharePoint (WSS 3.0, MOSS 2007, and SharePoint 2010), BizTalk Server, and the .NET framework. He has special interest in manycore solutions and spends time investigating technologies such as F# and the Task Parallel Library built into .NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010. Talbott and his company deliver solutions and services to large and small companies including the Fortune 500. Talbott also assists companies with the development process by using a blend of Agile and traditional methodologies, Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Team System, Scrum, Test Driven Development (TDD), performance testing, and other proven tools and practices. Talbott is a group lead of the New England F# User Group. You can follow him on Twitter @talbott.

In addition, we'll schedule some 5-10 minute lightning talks. Email Matt Harrington if you'd like to sign up. Topics could be basic functional programming lessons or something cool you've been doing with F#.

After 6pm, ask the security guard to let you up to the 7th floor.
