DotNetZone Community Event (Basilopita) Stream

20 January 2011 |

Today we celebrated the new year in a special community event held at Microsoft Offices. First we had our usual discussions looking back at the community activities and then went on discussing what we could do more in order to engage more with the community. Finally we cut two cakes and two lucky guys woke out with an XBOX 360 with Kinect (unfortunately I wasn’t one of them). I was able to stream and record most of this event through my tablet’s 3G network connection. The quality isn’t the best due to the connection speed, still you can still...

ITProDevConnections LightSwitch lottery draw

08 October 2010 |

I guess most of you will know by now that ItPro|DevConnections is holding a lottery for two msdn subscriptions for all of those that took advantage of the early bird offer and subscribed for the event before the 30th of September. Well, I was assigned to perform the lottery which is going to take place today. This got me thinking, What would be the easiest (don’t have time) and geekiest (after all it’s a tech event) way to perform this lottery?

Prism at the next DotNetZone Event

09 December 2009 |

I’m going to be speaking at the next DotNetZone event on a very interesting topic namely IoC (Inversion of Control) and on how using "Prism" and it's friend Unity (an implementation of IoC) from the Patterns and Practices team that can help in building Silverlight applications in a way that lends itself to testability and modularity. In talking with various colleagues and customers building business applications with Silverlight I find that Prism (and it's friend Unity) is frequently mentioned but not everyone has seen it or use it.

DotNetZone Event Resources

20 November 2008 |

As promised yesterday, I’m publishing the slide deck I used as well as the demo source code I used. Stay tuned to get notified when the video of the event gets published on DotNetZone. /p> I had a great time discussing how Dynamic Data and ADO.NET data services work although I was pretty stressed out at the beginning with a number of technical problems (network was down, projector didn’t work etc) and catching up with some old friends. Looking forward to do it again…
