I’m now at Edinburgh airport, on my way to the Basta! conference in Germany. Yeah, I know it starts only Monday, but I’m staying with a friend for two days first.
Turns out Basta! is going to be extremely busy for me… I already knew I was going to be the Developer Express representative there, and that I was going to do four sessions, and that I’d attend the Basta Innovation Award ceremony as a member of the award jury, but now it turns out that I’m also doing a workshop on Monday morning be …
I was at NRW 07 last Friday and had a great time. For Developer Express I did a mini “booth” there and had a chance to demo some of our products to interested attendees. I also did my .NET 3 - The Game Challenge session again, which went fantastic this time — according to the feedback, it was one of the best three sessions at the event! Apparently nobody had a problem with VS 2008 beta 2 crashing at least three times :-)
I also met up with a bunch of people, some of which I hadn’t known befor …
I received the feedback list for my DDD 5 sessions yesterday. Let me summarize, with comments:
Session 1 with Ian, Bluffers’ Guide to C# 3.0 - most people thought it was great. The only criticism that touched this session was more about the combination with the second one, see below.
Session 2 with Ian, 10 cool things to do with C# 3.0 - most people thought this was great, too. Some said it was a little too much content for an hour, others said they enjoyed the longest demos most while th …
In October I’m going to be in Bristol at the .NET Developer Network, doing talks to introduce WPF as well as Silverlight. I’m looking forward to seeing some of you there!
Guy has described the sessions on the group’s web site, much better than I could :-) So click here to have a look at the details and to sign up!
I finally made it :-) Here are the files with slides and sample code for the sessions Ian and I did at DDD 5.
It happened last Saturday, and feedback from attendees as well as organizers seemed to indicate that it was another major success. I was pretty busy on the day myself. Ian and I did a double session on C# 3 and related features, which was received really well, although the presentation and demo gods weren’t smiling on us — we lost our merged slide deck overnight just before the event (Ian re-merged it just before the presentation), the main projector stopped working in the middle of one of Ian …
The agenda for DDD 5 is up (registration is open as well, in case you hadn’t heard!) now, and I find that I’m going to be really busy on the day. Ian and I are doing a double presentation about C# 3 and all the fantastic things you can do with it, and after that I’ll present .NET 3 - the game challenge, which was a blast the first time I did it. I hope to see many of you around, and I like to hear from people who read my blog - so if you’re around and spot me, please do say hi! …
Go here quickly to register, before everybody else does! In case you’ve been living under a rock in the past few years, here’s a link to the DDD web site, where you can find all sorts of information about it.
