Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist, Evangelist, Speaker, Developer.

James Johnson, Director, a Microsoft MVP, is the Founder and President of the Inland Empire .NET User’s Group, and has fondly watched it grow from a twice a month, early Saturday morning group of five in 2003, to a robust and rambunctious gathering of all types and sizes of .NET developers. In his off-time from running the user group, James is a husband and dad, works as a senior level consultant for database and system solutions, writes the occasional technical article, digs deep into cutting edge technologies (often with some spectacular disasters), teaches Saturday morning software development classes and spreads the word about the latest and greatest bits, getting people excited about .NET. He tries to blog as often as he can, but usually gets distracted by EF, LINQ, MVC, ASP, SQL, XML, and most other types of acronyms.
