In case you haven’t heard about it before, the event takes place on May 23rd at Microsoft Thames Valley Park in Reading. Rafal Lukawiecki, who was voted best TechEd speaker for 7 years running, is the headline speaker. He does two sessions, and he’s joined by other interesting speakers like Lorna Brown from Microsoft Research, Mike Taulty and Daniel Moth from Microsoft’s development and platform group, and of course the NxtGenUG guys themselves, with John, Richard an …
I did a presentation recently at the NxtGenUG in Oxford, where I introduced WPF and WCF in a combined session. I created a network enabled implementation of Connect Four to do this. Here’s the download of the demo solution, as requested by some of the attendees:
If you missed my presentation in Oxford, I suggest you keep an eye on the DDD 5 agenda voting page. I submitted the …
I don’t think I’ve blogged about this yet, other than the original announcement about the event — turns out I’m going to speak at the event as well. They haven’t published their complete agenda yet, but there’s an overview of (some of?) the sessions available, including mine. This is what my session’s going to be:
Dynamic Languages and .NET
Last year Microsoft announced their future plans for dynamic language support in the .NET CLR, and existing projects like IronPython and PowerSh …
BASTA! was a good conference with a lot of great sessions. I did two myself — advanced functionality in the DataGridView (with some non-DataGridView specific things, like a cross table implementation based on ITypedList) and a session on ORM in real-world applications, going into some scenarios that come up when the typical SQL/ADO.NET based application architecture is converted towards ORM.
For Developer Express, we also had a great time in the exhibition, where we did lots of demos and had …
I’ll be in Frankfurt, Germany next week for BASTA!. I’m doing two sessions there and exhibiting for Developer Express. I’m looking forward to seeing you there, and please feel free to email me if you want to meet up outside the event.
I was at NxtGenUG in Birmingham yesterday, doing a session about LINQ extensibility. I thought it was good, but ask the attendees if you want to be sure :-) In any case I promised to make my samples and slides available, so here they are:
You thought DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper day was the least easily pronouncable name for a community event? Well, try this on: NxtGenUG is organizing NxtGenUG — Fest07 (actually I have the suspicion that it’s harder to type than to pronounce after all)! It’s a community event, I guess, being organized by a user group, but then it’s not the same type of free event we’ve seen in the past. As a non-member of NxtGenUG it costs money to attend — I’ll be interested to see whether that works out for t …
I’m going to be at NxtGenUG Birmingham next Monday, talking about LINQ Extensibility. Here’s information about the event — looking forward to meeting you there!
