Webstack of Love

Norway is a great place to visit, and the Norwegian Developers Conference was one of the best conferences I've ever been to (it's no coincidence, I think, that my two favorite conferences are both in northern Europe: NDC and Oredev).

My talk at NDC this year was HTML 5 + Knockout + ASP.NET Web API + SignalR = Webstack of Love. The source code (with all four steps) is available on GitHub.

Enjoy!

Advanced ASP.NET MVC 3 Presentation

I was one of the lucky on-campus people who got to do their mvcConf 2 presentation from the brand new Channel 9 studios, and now the video is online.

You can download high quality WMV (for Windows) or MPEG-4 (for OS X/iOS/Linux). Slides are here, and code is here.

Enjoy!

Presentation Slides

Occasionally I have people pinging me about slides for talks I give. While I've been blogging the individual event, that post gets buried into the history and then hard to find.

So if you've been looking for my slides, I added a permanent page with a simple URL -- Talks & Presentations -- and linked it in my sidebar.

Enjoy!

Upcoming Events

Man, the time has flown by! I can't believe it's almost Tax Day.

Next weekend (Fri April 18 through Sun April 20) I'll be hanging out at DigiPen for the ALT.NET Seattle event. Since this event was purposefully timed to coincide with the MVP Summit next week, I imagine I'll be out and about meeting up with people during the week prior; if you're in town and want to hang out, my e-mail is bradwils at microsoft.

The P&P Summit in Quebec is coming up in just a few weeks, May  6-8. At the moment I'm scheduled to do a talk on Dependency Injection with Scott Densmore and a talk on Open Source with Peter Provost. I was supposed to be at the summit in Redmond last fall, but I ended up injuring my knee and unable to walk (which makes it pretty tough to present, too). Scott's talk on DI in the fall was centered around our work moving ObjectBuilder towards 2.0; I expect our talk this time will be more focused on the final OB2 and Unity bits that just shipped.

Seattle Code Camp v3: January 26 & 27

Third time's a charm, I hope... after being rescheduled twice, it would appear that Seattle Code Camp v3 is going to happen in a couple weekends.

I'm going to be there to give two talks: one about xUnit.net (with Jim Newkirk) and one about ObjectBuilder (with Scott Densmore). Should be a good time!
