I spent the evening at the Summer of Code user group event, along with James Hippolite and Scott McKenzie who are also from the Wellington .NET Users Group.

Summer of Code helps place students into companies over their summer break. At Xero we have James Sullivan currently working on Xero Labs samples on our Xero developer site.

The event tonight was to put students in touch with user groups around Wellington. It was great to see the cool user groups that are up and running, from PHP and Linux to WellRailed and SuperHappyDevHouse. Hopefully those students that were there got to see that there's a lot of good support if you're interested in learning new topics, and support for people that want help.

Go Wellington!
