A get together for comedians, character actors, comedy writers, producers etc. We aim to build a network of local talent and create some regular local nights. People new to comedy also welcome!

We love to discuss, share opinions, learn from mistakes and professionally grow together. We are also open-minded developers curious to explore trending technologies and languages outside the Microsoft world, learn and compare them with the familiar tools we use every day on the job.  [Read more about our principles.](http://www.andreaangella.com/2015/03/the-cambridge-net-user-group-is-born.html) **Who should join us?** Professional .NET developers (even if you don't live in Cambridge). **Why a new community?** There are a lot of very good developer communities in Cambridge but there is no community targeting specifically .NET developers. Ideally, the community should be made of people that are working on .NET every day and that are eager to learn and develop themselves through collaborative learning and presenting. There is no limit in terms of topics to discuss but we will look at them through the eyes of people who work with Microsoft technologies for the majority of their working time. **Twitter**: [@dotnetcambridge](https://twitter.com/dotnetcambridge) **What about recruiters?** Recruiters are treated like any other members and are welcome to join the group and attend our events to learn and build their network but they need to agree on a code of conduct.
