    12 days, 6 countries…

    I’m about to leave for a 12 day road trip that will take me to six different countries on three continents. My first stop, arranged by Adam Cogan and Telerik, is an Agile Seminar in Sydney, Australia. Should be fun, at least they already know what Rugby is and will get my sports references.  I will also be speaking on Silverlight at the Sydney .NET User Group. I’ll be doing my WCF walk through and then a RIA Services demo, about 2 hours, no slides, only Visual Studio. In addition to my presentation, I will also be demoing the new Telerik Data Services Wizard at the user group and show how...

    Speaking at Project Management Day in Romania

    I’ll be doing my (in)famous Scrum seminar in Bucharest, Romania on May 26th at Project Management Day, hosted by PMI and Microsoft.

Negotiating with the business, estimation and team dynamics are all discussed as well as...

    ALT.NET Houston Open Spaces 2010

      So, over the weekend I attended ALT.NET Houston Open Spaces 2010. I wasn't too sure what to expect since I had never been to this type of event before, but I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. Starting on Friday, I attended a free half-day workshop about "Advanced WPF" hosted by Jonathan Birkholz. This five hour workshop went over everything from the basics of WPF, to dependency properties, to making "designable" applications. This workshop successfully cleared up many questions I had about building WPF applications. After the workshop, I unfortunately had to leave a little bit early, but ...

    Great Indian Developer Summit Wrap-Up

    Last week I spoke at the Great Indian Developer Summit in Bengaluru, India. This was my second year speaking at GIDS, so it was great to be back. Before the event Telerik’s Team Fantastic Four set up the booth and then hit McDonalds for a Maharaja Mac. Remember India does not eat beef, so we HAD to go to McDonalds and check it out! Imagine a McDonalds without a hamburger. Totally awesome. (Though we all preferred the McAloo, a potato patty sandwich.) The event is really 4 conferences in 4 days. One day each on: .NET, Web, Java, and Seminars. On the Day 1 (.NET) I spoke on: Building Data...
