# Jackie Goldstein Rocks

By Roy Osherove May 23, 2005

**Historical article** · Originally published May 23, 2005; technical details may be outdated.

Looks like [Jackie Goldstein](http://weblogs.asp.net/jackieg) has beat me to being the first Israeli on [.NET rocks](http://www.dotnetrocks.com/). His show will air on the 30th of this month. Jackie is the founder of [IVBUG](http://www.renaissance.co.il/ivbug) - the largest and oldest user group in Israel which deals with VB and VB.NET. He's also a regional director in Israel for VB and talks in many many conferences.

As he's one of the experts regarding ADO.NET, I'm pretty sure the show will be a very interesting one relating to (probably) ADO.NET 2.0.

Go Jackie! :)
