I’m going to be a speaker at Basta! in Germany, talking about the role of the model in Developer Express’ eXpressApp Framework generated applications. XAF is obviously our implementation of the general idea, but this is not supposed to be a sales pitch — the idea is generally usable, whether you like XAF or not. I got some very positive feedback about this after doing a similar thing at DDD day 3 a few weeks back. Developer Express will also be exhibiting there, so this is the perfect time to …
Go here to see what the agenda of DDD day 3 looks like, and then register here. Finally, here’s the page for the Geek Dinner that’s being organized for the evening after the event. See you there!
I actually forgot to mention this so far: my session Designing a model based application architecture has been accepted for DDD day 3. I’m not sure what the status of public announcements is for the guys organizing everything around DDD (and I can’t look right now because my internet provider has a few problems this morning), so I’m just going to point you to my own earlier post for the session description.
Session proposals for Developer Developer Developer day 3 are closed and voting has been opened today. Be sure to put your check marks in the right places if you want to see any of the sessions I submitted! By the looks of it there are loads of interesting things to see on the day, so I recommend everybody should definitely take the time to cast his/her vote and of course to be there! …
Just passing this on — there’s additional detail available now on the homepage of the Developer Developer Developer project about the organization for day 3. Most importantly, if you’re planning to speak there, you must have your session proposal in until March 17th. Other dates are the session voting period from March 17th to April 7th, notification of the speakers until April 14th, publishing of the agenda on May 1st and opening of the registration on May 2nd. …
DDD day 3 is on June 3rd, 2006, and last time there I promised I would submit a session proposal myself this time. Here are the two proposals I just put in — I hope they’re not so specific that nobody likes them :-)
Refactoring made easy with Refactor!
Refactoring is the process of changing implementation details of methods, classes or other code entities, to promote readability, efficiency and/or performance, without changing the external interface of the code entity. Refactor! is a pro …
Great news: Apparently I wasn’t the only one to complain about the previous target date on June 10th. Now the event has been moved to June 3rd instead, one week earlier. So now I’ll have to think about the session I’m going to suggest. I’ll see how it goes…
It’s on June 10th, once more in Reading. Read all about it here. I think this date is a very bad idea, because it’s the Saturday right before TechEd 2006 in Boston starts. I don’t know whether I’ll be going to Boston or not, but I’m sure this will reduce the number of participants and potential speakers vastly. I was planning to suggest a talk for DDD day 3, but now this won’t be possible for me in case I’m going to be at TechEd. Oh well.
