Code Camp NJ is in the Books. It was the first code camp in New Jersey put on with the help of Scott Watermasysk, Don XML, and the local Microsoft office team.

The energy level was excellent and the sessions were well attended and there was good information being presented.

I agree 100% with what Mark Miller said on recently on a DNR show, that the best way for MS to deal with open source and anti-microsoft sentiment is to make coding with MS tools FUN again.

With the rollout of Visual Studio 2005, tools like Telerik controls, and Code Rush, and the excellent support from the community is certaily make it fun for me.

So keep supporting the code camps in your area!!!

p.s. I will be posting the Sample project and Private Assembly for the DNN project that integrates with Virtual Earth that I presented on. Soon....

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. And I am looking forward to OpenForce08, where I wil be presenting on TDD for DNN.

 

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.
