What we’re about
The Wisconsin .NET User Group was founded on February 12, 2002 at the launch of Visual Studio.NET. Our mission from inception has been to develop a peer group of developers, architects, and managers who are interested in learning, sharing and growing their Microsoft .NET knowledge and capabilities. The group's vision is to provide members with a forum to hear top industry experts speak, learn and teach others who are interested in the same technologies as you and are facing the same challenges.
The Wisconsin .NET User Group covers the entire spectrum of .NET technologies, including the Windows Server System, XML web services, application development with Visual Studio.NET and the .NET Framework (including web, mobile, and desktop applications.) We are proud to now have over 3,000 members and we have continued to grow stronger each month due to the well-known .NET expert speakers we bring each month, the support of our growing list of sponsors, and the input and interest of each of our members.
The Wisconsin .NET User Group's sole purpose is to bring technology and business people together who are interested in .NET technologies. In the pursuit of this purpose, we strive to bring interesting speakers to talk on interesting topics in a monthly meeting format. We also highly encourage interaction between members, so we can all share our experiences and learn from each other. It is this community orientation that brings us together to develop and deliver the best applications to our respective employers, customers, and ourselves.

See all- GitHub Coding Agent - Your new teammateConcurrency, Inc., Brookfield, WI
One of the most memorable moments from Build 2025 was watching Satya Nadella live-code on stage — but with a twist. He assigned an issue to his “Copilot” teammate, and just minutes later, a pull request was ready for his review. What once seemed like science fiction is now a reality I use every day.
In this session, we’ll take a deep dive into GitHub Coding Agent — a revolutionary capability that brings intelligent automation to your development workflow. Through a series of live demos, we’ll explore its features and functionality in real time.
We'll begin by walking through how to enable GitHub Coding Agent in a GitHub Enterprise environment, including setup steps and cost considerations. Then, we’ll explore real-world scenarios inside a sample project, demonstrating how the Coding Agent accelerates development. Finally, we'll finish by sharing some best practices for maximizing its performance.
By the end of this talk, you’ll be ready to start using GitHub Coding Agent in your own projects. You’ll learn how to make it a productivity multiplier and how to begin putting it to work immediately.Presenter: Cameron Vetter
