Thanks to all who attended my talk on C# 4.0 Dynamic Features last night at the Houston Dynamic Languages user group. I’d really appreciate if you could rate the session and give me your feedback. You’ll also find the session material for download there.

Thanks everybody who showed up at the SHDNUG for my talk last night. I’d really appreciate if you could take a minute to rate the session and give me some feedback so I can improve it in the future. The session material can be downloaded here.

Thanks once again!

Last night I’ve had a great time speaking at the Visual Studio 2010 Launch Event for the Dallas .NET user group. I did a talk on the C# 4 dynamic features. It’s a new session I’ve put together real quick and there’s a lot of things I should improve, but I guess it went well. Thanks everybody who attended the session!

I’d really appreciate if you could take a minute to rate the session here, and leave some feedback so I can improve things the next time I present this one.

The sample code and slides can be downloaded here.

I’d like to thank everybody who showed up for the presentation last Thursday. Several people drove from far away to attend, and that’s much appreciated.

I was very happy to hear lots of great feedback from people who attended both last year’s and this year’s presentation. I’ve heard from so many people the great impact that my “SOLID” and “productivity” talks had on them, and that re-energizes me to continue babbling around. 

Thanks Brandon King, from organizing yet another great meeting, and also for such a flattering blog post.

The slide deck I’ve used at the presentation can be downloaded here.  And please, I’d appreciate if you could take a minute to rate the presentation and give me feedback here.

Nope, it isn’t an April Fools joke. 

My first speaking gig ever through INETA was at the Ozarks UG last year, and I’ve had a blast: pretty good attendance, presented two of my most favorite talks (productivity and SOLID), got together with some old friends, made new ones… and now they want me back, so I guess people enjoyed it. Oh, but wait, last year they were giving away a laptop, so that’s probably what drew people to it… and this year they’re going to have an iPad… hmm, well, works for me either way. 

This time around I’ll be doing my “Be a Professional and Write Clean Code” talk. Those who have seen it seem to have liked it.

Hope to see some of you there!

Here’s something that’s just been announced: my buddy JB will be hosting an Advanced WPF Workshop at the EPS office. We’ll also be broadcasting it over the web. Keep an eye on J.B.’s blog for information on the link in case you want to attend it online.

I hope to see some of you there, either at our offices or online! I’m really looking forward to this, because we’ll be sharing some of the cool things we are doing with WPF from an architecture and implementation standpoint.

I’ve had a great time presenting at the Bay.NET User Group last week. This was another INETA sponsored presentation. The attendance was great, both in terms of numbers as well as participation, and I’ve had fun presenting on the topic:

Command design pattern, Lambda Expressions, Extension Methods, fluent interfaces, refactoring, test-driven development, writing elegant code, and more! This session will cover a little bit of many things learned from projects he’s been working on. We expect every attendee to learn a few tricks that can be applied immediately, and also to feel encouraged to go out and research more on whatever area appeals the most. Besides learning those things, we really hope attendees will start thinking and approaching their code in a different way.

If you attended to that presentation, I’d appreciate if you could take a minute or two to rate it and give me some feedback here: http://tinyurl.com/CLBay2009.
