UK Developer Technical Communities

Microsoft UK supports a large number of technical user groups and online communities across the country. A technical community can help you get more out of Microsoft software. Whatever their size or form, communities have in common the commitment to provide a platform for sharing experience, insight and knowledge about language, tools and technologies.
