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 [...]
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! [...]
I’ve just returned from a wonderful trip to the Oredev 2009 Oresund Regional Developers Conference where I was invited to present both a half-day workshop and an hour-long regular talk in the .NET conference track. If you’re interested, links to my slides and my code samples can be found for download as mentioned in this [...]
Oredev 2009: Mission Accomplished
I’m glad to report that I have managed to complete my delivery of both of my sessions at the Oredev 2009 conference!
This was my first invitation to present at Oredev and I have to say I am impressed with both the organizers and the attendees here. Although Malmo is apparently consistently cold [...]

As I started to think about why this might [...]

This is the same release that includes the previously-integrated [...]
Many viewers of one or more of my screencast series, Summer of NHibernate or Autumn of Agile, have seen me make use of several utility and base class libraries that I have developed over the years. Some have expressed interest in using some of these libraries in their own work projects. Some have asked permission [...]
I’m happy to announce that the first installment of my five-part screencast series on the S.O.L.I.D. object-oriented design principles, Refactoring to a S.O.L.I.D. Foundation, has just been posted to the DimeCasts.NET website for download or direct viewing.
In this series of short, 10 minute screencasts I will be applying each of the S.O.L.I.D. principles one by [...]
I usually refrain from making posts that just end up referencing the work of others, but while looking for something else I just came across two blog posts from late-November of 2008 where Davy Brion goes into some detail about how to use stored procedures with NHibernate to both retrieve and instantiate a mostly-flat object [...]
