Bio:

Greg Pugh is a .NET developer / consultant in Durham, NC.

I started my technical career in the IT infrastructure world and switched from chips to salsa 5 years ago and never looked back - coding is a blast. Learning and teaching about design patterns and modular architectures is my constant interest and my current passion is exploring OO best practices and applying them using the ASP.NET MVC framework sprinkled with Ajax and jQuery for flavor.

I started hosting VB/Access user group meetings in the early 90's and switched to .NET as soon as it came out (www.TRINUG.org). We host a monthly meeting with big name presenters and a couple of code camps a year, and what I really enjoy is our ~6 per month Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings where local developers present and we can get our hands on the code and have some lively in depth discussions. I help keep the group alive with my weekly newsletter backed up with a Google calendar. We use a wiki (trinug.pbwiki.com) to make sharing content easy and Google groups to keep things interactive
