It's almost time for Tech Ed again, and this year will be a very exciting event! The reason for this is that it will be held at the ICC in my old hometown: Durban . Apart from a few slide-decks and a laptop, I will be sure to take a surfboard! Surfing in Cape Town is really "hard" compared to doing that in Durban!!! (Man do I miss the warm waters and the smooth breaks of the East Coast!) But let's talk more about Tech Ed . This year, once again, there are excellent speakers hailing...
I must say that the newly launched MSDN Forums frontend is probably the coolest forums frontend for development-related posts that I've seen to date. Do yourself a favour and check it out, even if you don't have any questions and/or answers to post ;o) Share this post: email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it! | live it!
As Hilton's blog indicates , we'll have the pleasure of chatting with legendary Brad Abrams soon, right here in Cape Town! He will be doing a talk on the planned ASP.NET MVC Framework for SADeveloper.net. Scott Guthrie explains the MVC pattern nicely over here . This is an exciting framework that might(!) remind you of Ruby on Rails . Some open source efforts to bring the rails mentality of CoC and DRY to the .net platform has been attempted before, most notably with the Castle Project ....
Thanks for everyone that made it out to the Continuous Integration talk ! It was great to have a former employee of Thoughtworks (the guys who developed CruiseControl) in the audience, and it seemed as if many people derived value from the event. Thanks to FoschiniDATA for the venue and the snacks! The slide decks I used for the talk can be found here . Share this post: email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it! | live it!

Details are as follows: When: 19th September 2007 18h30 - 20h00 Venue: FoschiniData Lefic Building 340 Voortrekker Road Parow East Cape Town (right next to Sanlam Shopping Centre) Topic: Continuous Integration RSVP: Please RSVP here The Extreme Programming (XP) Development Methodology defines many concepts, one them being Continuous Integration , which will...
With the introduction of Domain Specific Languages (DSL's) like LINQ right into the .net languages themselves, we become capable of becoming more focused on the domain of the problem space to which we're developing solutions. We're able to do Domain Driven Design (DDD) at a language level, and that's cool! What is really cool in addition, is that we don't lose out on the ability to go down to a lower level - the code we write with language-level DSL's is backwards compatible...
Morfik 's has this to say about their WebOS AppsBuilder (quite a mouthful): WebOS AppsBuilder brings extreme simplicity to the design of sophisticated AJAX applications without compromising their functionality. You don't need to write any HTML, XHTML, XML, JavaScript or CSS. It has never been easier to create highly interactive web sites and applications - and you don't even have to learn a new language or new technologies to do it! Their (patent pending) JavaScript Synthesis Technology...

SaDeveloper hosted a developer-session on Saturday on Developing SharePoint Solutions and Office Business Applications (OBA) using .NET at Microsoft Cape Town , which was very well received. It's the first of a series of in-depth enterprise-related sessions you can expect, and because of the length of these, they will take place on Saturdays. (The session received excellent ratings and in general it seems that events on Saturdays might become more popular than some might have anticipated). Thanks...

I did two talks on AJAX at DevDays in Durban a few weeks ago: one was an introduction to the ASP.NET AJAX framework that Microsoft released, as well as some of the open-source controls available in the Control Toolkit . The second talk was a bit more interesting, discussing Security in AJAX-enabled web applications in general. Both these went pretty well, considering that my laptop blew up the evening before, and I sat awake in my hotel all night configuring a new laptop to demo on the next day....
