Greetings, Canadian Developers!

Welcome to the Canadian Developers blog. Spanning the Great White North from coast to coast to coast, this blog represents a new conversation between MSDN Canada and the development community at large. Our goal is simple; to provide news and information that is relevant to Canadian developers. This includes highlights from user groups, information about MSDN events, posts from bloggers in the community, the occasional NHL recap, and a ton of other stuff.

To help bring this information to you, we have brought together three geeks from MSDN Canada:
