Menu Board Welcome to the Second Edition of the .NET Gurus Can Cook Cookbook! The first edition was met with great success and distributed to thousands of developers across the country at industry trade shows, code camps, and .Net User Groups. The response has been overwhelming, including being awarded as a finalist in Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2011! Who knew developers could really cook? In this edition, the developer community has stepped up with even more great recipes. Whether you’re looking to start your meal off with Spinach Mushroom Quesadilla appetizers, followed by Chicken and Shrimp Gumbo and Southern Fried Green Tomatoes, then move on to Slow-Roasted Carnitas or Cape Cod Fresh Swordfish for the main course, and finish it off with a Dulce de Leche cheesecake and Blueberry Mojito, this book is definitely for you! Once again, I would really like to give a big ‘THANK YOU’ to everyone that contributed to this Second Edition. The cookbook includes a representation of our entire Microsoft .NET community - contributing to this project we have Speakers, Writers, MVP’s, User Group Leaders, Industry Influencers, Magazine and Site Publishers/Editors, and more. Bon Appetite!
