Come join us for the March UCNUG meeting. We will be meeting at the NuSkin NOC located at 1175 S 350 E, Provo, UT at 6:00 on Wednesday, March 18. The topic will be data access technologies.

Database access is something that just about every business application (and many others) needs to do. Microsoft has been busy lately coming up with different data access technologies. We will sort through the different acronmyms and talk about each method, when you might use it, when you might not want to use it, and show examples of some of them. Bring your questions and we will try to work through them together.

The meeting will be sponsored by TEKsystems.

David  is an avid genealogy technologist who has built some of the earliest Internet based tools for personal family history.  He has worked at Microsoft most of his career on the company's leading products.  Currently, David continues his independent work on web based family history tools and FamilySearch utilities. He also is still employed at Microsoft working on the latest web technologies and development tools.
