I was tempted to call it a roundtrip like before, but that’s not really what it is on the map. Starting on September 17th, I’ll be on my way to several events in the Netherlands, Germany and Austria. As usual, I’m looking forward to meeting lots of people — if you’re in the vicinity of any of my stops and want to meet up, let me know and I’ll see what I can do!

Of course there’ll also be the odd DevExpress license given out as …

I’m leaving tomorrow for a little roundtrip. First, on Friday, I’m doing a guest lecture about Functional Programming in C# at Campus 02 in Graz, Austria. From there I’m moving on to Slovenia (on Saturday, May 23rd), for NT Konferenca 2009. I’ll be doing two sessions there, on C# as well as F#. I’m also exhibiting for DevExpress — but of course, DevExpress related questions and conversations are always welcome anyway!

Finally I’ll be …


If you’re a developer, you know the feeling - and if you’re not, I’m sure you can imagine it: you have just written the most amazing little piece of code, and nobody is there to kiss your feet, praise some deity for your existence and generally worship you in the way you deserve.

I’m going to be in Galway, Cork and Dublin next week.

In Galway, I’ll do a WPF session for GMIT students on Monday afternoon, and Functional Programming in C# 3.0 in the evening at GAMTUG. If you want to be there, follow this link for all the details! On Tuesday I’m going to be in Cork, delivering a WPF session again. Here’s the link for that one — hope to see you there as well! The video is actually about my WPF introduction, but if there’s enough time, I might well do the longer _WPF in b …


For the last two years, the majority of my time has been spent on this project, and now it’s out the door. ‘Nuff said.

If you do business applications and you haven’t seen it, go have a look immediately. If you’ve seen it before, have another look - it’s changed a lot recently, especially from the usability point of view. Here’s the announcement, Ray’s blog post about the new Universial SKU of DXperience, here’s lots more information and here’s a trial download. Merry Christmas! …


October 17th and 18th this year, the VBUG conference 2007 takes place at Microsoft Campus in Thames Valley Park in Reading. I’ll be speaking there about LINQ as well as WPF, and if you’re interested in Developer Express technology, this is the place to be because I’ll have a booth there and I’ll be ready to demonstrate all the products and answer all your questions. Looking forward to meeting you there!


I just got back yesterday from the Basta! conference in Germany. It was a great event, very busy for me but also lots of fun.

Here’s all the content from my sessions (if you attended Basta!, you should also receive a CD shortly with all the session slides and samples):
