Walkspoiled

Yesterday was Code Camp II in NYC and it was great. Two of my new co-workers from VZW made the event. it is nice to see the community growing -  Michael is hard core and loved the session on programming Lego Blocks!

I made the following sessions - I made them all!

1. Don Demsack (DonXML) on Syntactic Sugar - An interesting way to look at how we write code, and how langauge features, and the IDE can help make code clear and consise (or not!)
2. David Laribee  - Test Driving NHibernate and the Domain Model - A thought provoking session about how to implement a clean and robust solution by focusing on the Domain Model and keeping the infrastructure out of the Domain Model Code base
3.  Kurt Guenther - VSTO 2005 Second Edition: using Office as an App Platform - Showed the basics of building a side panel with commands or adding to the Office Ribbon. Alot easier with the automated shim built by VSTO (which must be deployed...)
4. Scott Watermasysk  - Effectively using ASP.NET for Web 2.0 - An interactive session where Scott got the attendees to think a little bit about what developers are doing to make the Web 2.0 user experiences. And he held true to not saying the CS word!
5. Kevin S. Goff  - Building data-driven web pages using ASP.NET 2.0, Ajax, and T-SQL 2005 - Nice demo app - I will be stealing some parts of this
6. Kevin S. Goff  - Practical uses for .NET Generics - Where is the aspirin was a common comment - I guess I have to buy the book...
