Due to work from home and social distancing rules now in place, TVUG will be holding meetings online for the next few months. We look forward to seeing everyone in person, but for right now let's stay safe.
This session will be held online, via Microsoft Teams. We'll be starting at a slightly earlier time, 6:00 PM. If your company already uses Teams, you should be able to use your installed copy of Teams, otherwise, just use the web version. When you register for the event, you'll see the link to the event.
This session is part of the .NET Virtual User Group (https://www.meetup.com/dotnet-virtual-user-group) series, where you can join and find more virtual user groups happening around the world.
