I just got an email from Sunil who I met at MIX07. He thought that he recongized  me from the Scott Gu, MVC presentation at ALT.NET in Austin.

Well yes that was me sitting up with the Gu. It was a packed session at ALT.NET and the crowd was very pleased with what they saw. I was quite surprised as Scott Hanselman held a small camera for most of the presentation.

It amazes how much I was able to get involved in this past year:

  • MIX07
  • A number of Code Camps and User Group Presentations. NYC, Boston, Philly,  Westchester
  • JP's Training Class - Nothing But DotNet Training class
  • Meeting Rob Conery in Kauaui
  • DEVconnections and presenting at OpenForce
  • Completing a 1 YR consulting Project and leaving with highly satisfied users
  • Starting a new project with the goal of introducing, CI, TDD, DDD, and..MVC!

It is one week into a new assignment and things are starting to get interesting! I have been able to port a good portion of the web application to a DNN system and I am starting on the meaty part of the application.

Today marks my last commute crossing the hudson river via the tappan zee bridge.

The assignment to build an internal reporting application for a major vwireless carrier has been a great success, this is of course according to the manager and users of the new system! To me there is more refactoring and additional features to be added. There was plenty more tinkering to be done...

I leave the application in the trusty hands of Bharti, who was a bright spot of the project the past few months since she joined the team. It has been great to have someone to challenge my design and approach for building solutions. It was the closest to pair programming that I have come and I liked it.

The manager of the team created a supportive environment and he made every effort to give me the tools to create a successful project. Thanks Gus!  I know Nick and Karin will keep those employee recognition lunches going. I will miss the people and great atmosphere.

The DotNetNuke...

We are half way through the DevConnections and OpenForce Conference. Rob and I just finished our presentation on using SubSonic and DotnNetNuke. The audience had some good questions and people certainly are interested in other Data Access Layers for DotNetNuke

About Me

Thanks for stopping by. My name is Jim Bonnie and I have been writing software for over 20 years. After building financial data systems for Reuters for nearly 18 years I have started doing contract work and am excited about technology and currently focus on Microsoft solutions. DotNetNuke has helped provide a good introduction to ASP.NET web application development, and I am now starting to branch out into other areas. Data Access techniques and SubSonic is something that I am looking into now. This has helped me get an invitation to speak at Las Vegas at DNN Open Force 07. it was a great time.

Reading the codebetter blogs and attending a nothing but .net training class with JP Boodhoo helped spark my interest in ALT.NET. I attended the first conference in Austin Texas, and it was amazing to see Scott Guthrie introduce the ASP.NET MVC framework.
