Well, it must be official. My transition to Florida is nearly complete.
I have attended code camps in Miami and Orlando. It was great to see Florida based speakers that I did not see back in the North East.
What a treat to see the likes of David Hayden, and DNN experts such as Ryan Lansing, and Will Strohl.
Last week was a DNN users group close to home in Boca Raton, check out the meetup page.
I am loving Florida!!!!! Hope to see you at the next user group event. Let's do some DNN, MVC, TDD, or some JQuery.

Thanks to everyone that attended this morning's session at OpenForce 2008. We had a decent showing for the 08:00 am session.
I have posted the slides and sample project with the simple GolfScore MVP project with tests, as well as the project from the testdriven DNN projects built with the project templates on CodePlex
It is very exciting to have DotNetNuke V5 RC2 released for public download. We can all dig into the DNN container and Interfaces and see how we can all do more unit testing of our DNN modules.
Happy Coding!

The DotNetNuke Blog Module V 3.05.00 was recently released, see Antonio's Blog Post.
The new DNN version has a lot of features that Antonio's talks about, download it here.
This is a quick post with some screen prints that show how easy it is to set up the blog for posting from a Web Authoring tool that supports the MetaWebLog API, such as Windows Live Writer.
Here are some screen prints from my install on a new Laptop that I am setting up for my travels to OpenForce, you are going also, right?
Step 1) Download and Install Windows Live Writer - The installer was a bit obnoxious and kept coming to the foreground to report installer progress...
Step 2) Start the install and select the option stating that you already have...

Yesterday was the 2nd Annual Code for the DotNet Users group of Westchester/Fairfield County.
It was a rainy day in Connecticut and the last of the leaves were letting go.
The event was at a great venue again, the Stamford campus for UCONN.
I was only able to attend 3 sessions, as I am busy getting ready for a 2 week trip starting with OpenForce at Devconnections this coming week.
How could I miss a session...

I just completed one of the best projects to work on to date.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with the SAP team and Daniel was an excellent developer to pair with and challenge me. 
Daniel was open to using different tools such as Subversion and Tortiose SVN. After the first few weeks and sneaker net and USB thumb drives, the project productivity took a leap with the use of SVN. You should have seen his face when our conflicts were merged for us!!!
There was a single case when we needed to manually manage a conflict. This saved days if not weeks of time on the project.
I had the data access layer in place in a single day with SubSonic, but use of this tool was outside the corporate policy so it needed to be replaced with some home grown ADO.NET methods. The amount of hand written code must have also taken...

Next week is the Kaizen Conference in Austin Texas, and David Laribee has just posted some information on the Pre-Conference Agenda. I am really excited to be headed back to Austin. Last year ASP.NET MVC was unveiled. Who knows what this year will bring!!!
