>Whew!< After a pretty crazy January and February of preparation leading up to the event, I’m really pleased to announce that the 4th Annual NYC CodeCamp is officially OVER (Thank God!). This past Saturday March 6th, 2010 we held the actual event and I have to say that based on just about every metric I [...]
Last evening (Thursday) I had the pleasure of being asked to speak at the monthly meeting of the Philadelphia Alt.NET User Group. As mentioned previously in this post here, I delivered my “Pragmatic Implementation Patterns for Domain Driven Design in .NET” presentation to an enthusiastic audience of about 40-50.
A big thanks to everyone who took [...]
Summary
I am often asked when submitting talks to various events for a list of my past speaking engagements, event participation, etc. Rather than scramble each time to put this together, I have decided instead to just keep a running list of them here on this page. As I participate in additional events, I [...]
Next Thursday evening (2/4/2010) from 6:00pm-9:00pm I’ll be speaking at the Philadelphia Alt.NET user group on real-world Domain Driven Design implementation patterns in .NET.
The full title of the session is going to be “Lessons from the Trenches: Pragmatic Implementation Patterns for DDD in .NET” and the overview synopsis will be:

Its time for the semi-annual “What is ALT.NET and what does it mean to me?” introspection merry-go-round.
I’ve said it before and I will say it again: introspection is a healthy form of self-review and an expression of self-awareness for both people and organizations/movements/shared-value-systems/whatever ALT.NET might be. The last time this theme surfaced (to my knowledge) [...]
This is a public call for greater community participation in the Virtual Alt.Net online community for 2010 and beyond.
What is Virtual Alt.Net?
Virtual Alt.Net is an online community that met weekly over the past year or so utilizing Live Meeting as a platform for exposing as many people as possible to software development concepts and [...]
For those of you who missed out on the first NYC Agile Firestarter that the NY ALT.NET User Group and the NY .NET User Group jointly organized in June of 2009, I just wanted to announce that there is a ‘sister’ event coming soon to the Central NJ Area: The Central NJ .NET Agile Firestarter! [...]
At yesterday’s Philadelphia .NET CodeCamp, I was again wearing my somewhat tongue-in-cheek custom t-shirt with the following platitude on the front and the succinct summary of what I consider to be ALT.NET’s primary raison-d’etre on the reverse side:
As those readers who either attended the Agile Firestarter event in June or watched any of the [...]
I just completed spending my Saturday at the Philadelphia-area .NET CodeCamp 2009.2 event (I actually have to say ‘2009.2’ because this event apparently happens at least two or three times each year, as hard as it is for me to believe that they put all that energy into planning/executing it more than once a year).
I [...]
No sooner had I completed this post about the somewhat unmanageable list of things I had committed to for Autumn, than I was contacted by Peter Laudati, one of our local NYC-area Microsoft Developer Evangelists and asked if I would be willing to speak at an upcoming ASP.NET MVC Firestarter event on October 3rd, 2009.
