Code Camping
Sunday, August 31, 2008 at 10:23AM
So tomorrow morning i catch the redeye flight to Auckland to be at Code Camp and give a talk on the ASP.net MVC Framework. I'm hoping it goes down well, I've tried to aim it at just slightly above the beginner level, touching on Routing, Views, IoC and some more Contrib stuff, Filters, and JavaScript/Ajax support.
The talk runs for an hour and starts at 1:30 p.m., I'm looking forward to seeing the talks before mine and then of course Scott Hanselman's talk straight after mine, oh and not forgetting "Silverlight for Developers" by Jonas Folles. All things going well it should be a good day of geeking out.
Then on Monday it's time to move on to TechEd proper, I never like to schedule my time in advance (probably much to the annoyance of the people who have to work out what room to put things in) the CommNet solution that MS put up to let you look at the schedules is just too different to the mental model of the way i look at the conference, I tried it once and realised I'd missed half the talks i really wanted to go to. So no, instead I'll be taking a more ad hoc approach and going where i want, often the breakout sessions are more valuable anyway.
I'll be wearing my Xero badge so people know who i am, just come and tap me on the shoulder if you want to say hi, I'm always looking to meet new people (or old friends if any of you are there).
I'll be at the bloggers dinner on Monday night and TechFest on Tuesday too so come find me and we can talk about BDD/Mocking... seriously that's the kind of thing i end up talking about, but I'm not all that boring.
Anyway here's to a good conference, as per last year I'll try and do some in conference reviews.
