The Central Maryland Association of .NET Professionals (CMAP), a user’s group that focuses on learning and discussing Microsoft .NET technologies, will host its first event of the year next Tuesday, September 25 at 6:45 p.m. in ITE 459.

Wayne Loschen from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory—the technical lead for ESSENCE (Electronic Surveillance System for the Early Notification of Community-based Epidemics)-will speak bout the technical aspects of public health disease surveillance, including the architecture and visualization aspects.

The talk is the first in the CMAP series that will continue every fourth Tuesday of the month through June 2013. The group gives students the chance to chat and network with professional Software Developers. Admission is free.
