The .NET Banana is a blog that announces upcoming Microsoft-related user group meetings and other events in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, DC, Virginia, and West Virginia.

Tonight: Enterprise SQL Server Auditing and Security Best Practices in Tyson's Corner, VA.

I'm using SQL Server for the sites I run, including this one, so I'm looking forward to this presentation. The Northern Virginia SQL Server User Group (NoVaSQL.com) is putting this on.

In March: Introduction to Reporting Services. Cool, looking forward to that one too.

Update: I just got back from the SQL users group meeting. It was really good. Most of the general security-related information was review for me from personal experience and my internship on the IE 5 Security Team, but the presenter, Jeremy Kadlec of Edgewood Solutions, went into a lot of detail that was new to me and helped me better understand some of the finer points, such as the technical reasons why it is not advised to host IIS and SQL Server on the same machine. There was less than a dozen people there so we were all able to ask good questions, and I got all of my security-related questions out of the way.
