Codemash Timeline

  Intro This year for Codemash I thought I'd do something a little different.  Last year I did a "Who's Who's at Codemash" that went over really well and I had several people asking me about it this year.  Since I spent most of my time looking through a camera last year and I had a lot more responsibilities (discussion panel moderation, two expert zones and two talks) I decided I would keep a mental note in my head and do a timeline instead.  I didn't write anything down as I progressed through the conference because I wanted to just be free...

Codemash 2008 - It is all about Workflow!

Codemash 2008 scheduled for January 9th-11th is only a few months away.  It seems like only a few months ago I was watching Jim Holmes walk around the Kalahari Resort in a Hawaiian shirt and flip flops with six inches of snow on the ground outside.  Good times.  Another Codemash event is just around the corner and rumor has it the sessions have been finalized.  I have two sessions slated for Codemash, both of which will be given on Workflow Foundation.  The first session is an introduction to Workflow Foundation.  Here is the abstract: Your boss comes...

Video of CodeMash Organizers Shaving Their Heads

Josh Holmes, Microsoft Architect Evangelist, and Brian Prince, MVP Architect, shaved their heads at the end of the CodeMash Conference in front of the attendees.  Both Josh and Brian were organizers of the CodeMash Conference and they vowed if there were over 500 blog posts tagged by Technorati with the word "CodeMash" they would shave their heads.  Actually that was Josh's deal with the attendees.  Brian later through his hat in the ring and said his shaving point was 600 blog entries. It got to the end of the conference and Technorati was down.  We were trying to search but the site...

What's Makes The CodeMash Conference So Different

I wanted to post a few interesting thoughts real quick on what I noticed about the CodeMash conference that made it different for me.  When you go to a conference a lot of the time you know who is going to be there.  If it is a PHP conference, for the most part those that are heavily into PHP are going to be there.  The same can be said for Java conferences, Microsoft conferences and so on.   People From Different Walks Of Life When I was putting together my Who's Who post for CodeMash it hit me why it was...

My Video of A Zune to Zune Squirt

I haven't blogged about this yet but I acquired a Zune back in December.  The reason I haven't blogged about it is I haven't traveled anywhere with it  yet.  As a matter of fact I got the Zune while I was on a trip in Michigan and since I run Windows Server 2003 on my laptop I couldn't even play with it.  When I got home it wasn't supported on Windows Vista either but not to long after that there was an update and it works now.  Once I got it setup on my Vista machine and over the initial shock...

CodeMash: Asp.Net Tips And Tricks

I'm sitting in the Asp.Net tips and tricks sessions given by Scott Guthrie at the CodeMash conference.  Below are some of the items Scott covered. Visual Studio Tips and Tricks First up is the web site project model and the web application project model.  Essentially there are two types of web solutions.  One is a web site project which is the default in Visual Studio 2005.  It essentially allows you to store your web site in a folder0. For most content driven sites this is fine but this isn't what we were use to in VS2003.  The other solution type...

CodeMash: Scott Guthrie Keynote on LINQ

Scott Guthrie opened up CodeMash day 2 today with the keynote this morning and covered LINQ (Language Integrated Query).   I first saw LINQ over a year ago and it is just as exciting today to see it again as it was then.   I'm sitting at a table with some of my fellow team members and other conference attendees.  Most of them haven't seen a LINQ demo and it was interesting to watch their reactions to LINQ for the first time.  As Scott showed different examples you could tell he had their attention as their heads turned around to each other nodding with approval.  Since we...

Who's Who at CodeMash

Wow, what a day at CodeMash.  It has been busy.  I did two presentations today and I am worn out.  I've got to see a lot of people that I haven't seen in years and got to meet people that I knew of through the blogosphere that I finally got to meet.  Here are some of the people I've bumped into at CodeMash in no particular order.  I'll probably update this post as I take pictures of more people so keep checking back. CodeMash Organizers Ok, I said these were going to be in no order, but I thought it really wouldn't be fair without...

CodeMash Kicks Off

CodeMash kicked off this morning with Neal Ford doing his keynote on Domain-Specific Languages and Their Role in the Evolution of the Programming Paradigm.  Neal presented some very interesting explanations of DSL types such as Waffle house having their own domain specific language when ordering hash browns:  covered, smothered, chunked, etc.  The idea behind domain specific language is we as humans describe complex abstractions in domain specific languages.   Yet a lot of developers don't translate their domain specific language to the problem they are trying to solve.  Neal gave several examples of this in Java and C# where he created a Car...
