GROUP OVER VIEW
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

The primary focus of the NET Programmers Users Group is to facilitate interactions and virtual group meetings between our global community of developers and enthusiasts interested in .NET and Microsoft technologies. We also welcome developers from other communites and platforms to also openly participate, contribute and take part in presentations in the group.

For this purpose, we currently organize interactive presentations / group meetings with the aid of the virtual Live Meeting platform which allows our members to attend and take part in our interactive live events from virtually any where on globe.

If you would be interested in presenting on a .NET or another developer technology or would like to become more involved in our group by becoming an officer feel free to message Muneeb (user group admin) or email muneeb@netprogrammers.org. If you have a general question or suggestion, drop us an email at members@netprogrammers.org.

MISSION STATEMENT
=============
1) To enhance developer interaction and understating of .NET and other Microsoft technologies by engaging members in forum discussions, monthly meetings and educational presentations.

2) Enable members with access to a computer and internet to connect to us and participate in our meetings from virtually anywhere in the globe.

3) Present an alternate meeting ground for developers who find it difficult to attend regular on site user group meetings (either due to their regional location, cost, time or other constraints such as rising fuel prices and transportation problems, etc) and to enable them to connect to us and participate in our interactive meetings at virtually zero cost.
