Presenting on OData and WCF 4 at St Louis Day of .NET
Aug 16th
If you haven’t registered, you should join the 600+ people who have registered for the 2010 St Louis Day of .NET, making this our biggest year yet!
I will have two presentations that are scheduled for both days of the conference. Kicking off the morning with the JumpStart series, I will be delivering the WCF 4 JumpStart. In this session we’ll cover the basics of WCF 4: What’s new/changed from 3.5, REST Support, the Routing Service and Deployment to IIS on multiple bindings (BasicHttp, Rest, and Net.Tcp).
The OData talk will be the same one I have delivered at Iowa Code Camp and the St Louis .NET Users Group. If you haven’t seen the session covers the basics of OData, how to query OData sources, and finally we’ll build an OData service following the Hanselman Stackoverflow Challenge.
Beyond my small contributions there are over a 100 great sessions to look for. Check out the agenda, our speakers, and try out the schedule builder to build a personalized schedule!
Saint Louis Dot Net Users Group – Monday, March 30th
Mar 21st
Monday, March 30th I will be presenting during the second half of the .NET Users Group meeting and Microsoft’s office in Creve Coeur. Come out for both Stan Brooks presentation on "Users are Losers!" and mine on "The Software Architects Creed". This will be the first meeting where we are trying the new format as well as introducing the architecture track. I’m very excited to be a part of this and look forward to delivering my talk.
Abstract of "The Software Architects Creed" from The St. Louis .NET User Group Homepage:
Solid software architecture is emerging as one of many key factors to successful software projects. While there is great debate on which patterns are best or what tools to use, one factor remains the same: Creating solid software architectures requires a technical leader with the IT and business know how. The Software Architects Creed distills nine key points that when applied will help take your software to the next level. If you are a seasoned architect or a developer wanting to better understand architecture, the creed will provide you with action statements that you can take with you and apply daily to your job.
Hope to see you there!
Thanks for the Day of Dot Net!
Dec 13th
The first St Louis Day of Dot Net went off successfully! Over 240 attendees crammed into CAIT in Clayton to watch and discuss presentations on a variety of topics covered at PDC and other new technologies.
Thanks to everyone who came for the Oslo talk and especially the afternoon group. My energy was very low by then but the group stuck with it and had some great discussions. It’s definitely hard presenting about something so new that I have not deployed, so next time I hope to present on things I have deployed. I say next time because I think it’s pretty obvious there will be one.
Slides should be posted shortly to the DODN site.
Big thanks to Jeff, Kevin, and Scott for taking charge of this thing. They did an awesome job at getting this thing off the ground!
St Louis Day of .NET
Nov 10th
Registration for the St Louis Day of .NET started last week. The organizers have put together a great web site that has all the info you’ll need for the conference. Cost is $40 if you register before December 1st ($50 after that) and includes a conference polo shirt, 1g USB drive containing all conference presentations, projects, and other materials, full continental breakfast, and a boxed lunch.
I will be delivering the presentation "A Lap Around Oslo". Drop in for that session if you’re at the conference. Mention this blog and you’ll get a surprised look that you actually read it!
Speaking at the St Louis Day of .NET in December
Oct 24th
The full conference details will be coming soon so you can look forward to a full day of .NET presentations and demos on December 13. I will be delivering the session "A Lap Around Oslo" covering Microsoft’s forthcoming "Oslo" product; a new modeling platform that will change how applications are developed. It will be my first speaking engagement since the Internet Librarian Conference in 2006 and I’m really looking forward to it. Many kudos to Clint for hooking me up with the opportunity.
As soon as the site is completed I’ll post up the link so you can get registered. There will be at least 19 sessions with plenty of content to suit any .NET developer!
