May 2009 Conferences Update
MVC, Speaking 3 Comments »The UK’s .NET community is looking very healthy – this summer there’s a whole range of free conferences around the country.
The Developer Developer Developer (DDD) free one-day events have a great reputation for in-depth technical content and entertaining presentations. They’re on Saturdays, so you don’t have to take time off work. I’ll be speaking at the following two:
DDD Scotland – Saturday 2nd May 2009
| Venue: | Glasgow Caledonian University |
| Registration: | Places still available! Get yours while they last… |
| Price: | nil |
| Content: | Sessions cover jQuery, virtualisation, SQL, TDD, MVC, dynamic languages, C#4, web security, functional programming, architecture, ASP.NET 4.0, Scrum, AOP, … |
| My session: | Real-world MVC Architecture (60 minutes) If you could rewrite your current web application from scratch, how would you architect it? In this session I’ll show how ASP.NET MVC supports up-to-date thinking in clean software design, including key domain driven design principles, test-driven development, and swappable data access technologies using repositories. I’ll even throw in a bit of Silverlight, to show how a strong domain model lets multiple UI technologies share not just data but also a single set of business rules. The focus will be on code, not slides or abstract explanations. |
For more info, see the DDD Scotland website. It’s not long now… looking forward to it!

DDD South West Session Voting Has Just Opened – If you’re registered for DDDSW, then you need to vote for your favourite sessions here. The sessions themselves have already been selected, but your votes will determine which rooms they go in to ensure that there’s physically enough space for everyone to attend. You wouldn’t want to be left standing in the corridor, would you?
