*Words of Wisdom From The Elder

Last year I missed the devLINK conference but kept hearing tons of great things at other conferences or events I went to about it.  I had actually forgotten about it until Colin Neller, Memphis User Group President, reminded me by dropping my name in the hat of speakers.  So it shall be, I’ll be heading to Nashville, Tn in October.

I’m really looking forward to this event since there are some great friends in attendance.  I’ll be speaking on several topics this go around.  I put in for four topics but only two have made it on the prelim agenda so far:

1. Leveraging Enterprise Library in your Applications
2. New Features and Improvements for Smart Clients in Visual Studio 2008

The other ones on the radar are:

1. Structure and Guidance for Organizing Applications within Visual Studio
2. Building Custom Workflow Activities in Workflow Foundation – A Developer’s Primer

Last year around 400 developers were in attendance.  The crazy thing about devLINK is it only cost $50!  That’s a heck of a deal, especially considering the speaker line up.  According to Google Maps it is 425 miles, 6 hours and 22 mins. 

This will be the longest trip to date in the new Aspen, should be a fun drive in the hills with the 5.7 liter HEMI.
