St. Louis Day of .NET 2011 - Sessions Materials
I have to say that it has been awhile (just over a year actually) since I've updated my blog. I feel embarassed. On the other hand, I have been quite busy - so it's not like I don't do it because I am lazy (well I am somewhat lazy), but it's because time is somewhat a scarce resource. But... I will try to see if I can muster up some moments to be active with my blog. With that said, last month (August 5th and 6th) St. Louis held the 4th annual conference of the St. Louis Day of .NET. It was a rousing...

Materials for the St. Louis Day of .NET 2010 presentations - part two
Finished my session on Asynchronous Adventures in Silverlight an hour ago, and I'm putting up the presentation files. The session is Asynchronous Adventures in Silverlight. Since there are enough sessions about developing XAML, WPF and Silverlight, I've decided to do a session that emphasized the asynchronous nature of most operations that is the default mode of operations in Silverlight. The session talks about the asynchronous pattern used and how widespread it is, discuss about some pitfalls,...

A quick hello to the Western Kentucky .NET User Group
A few days back, I got a chance to speak at the Western Kentucky .NET User Group meeting in Murray, Kentucky. The opportunity came up because the original speaker, Jeff Blankenburg, had another obligation and was thus unable to come to this meeting. I volunteered to deliver his presentation, which is an overview of MIX10 conference. It was a great experience for me; got to drive around and do a little bit of sight-seeing – can’t say I’ve ever been to Kentucky before, so first trip ever there. I got...

My Coding Helpers: Verify exception thrown in Unit Test
Every now and then, I end up writing and re-writing the same code (or very, very similar) to achieve a functionality that I’ve had before. Sometimes I can remember where I wrote it, so I can just copy and paste. At other times, I have to redo it again since I forgot where it was. So I’d like to put it up on my blog so I have access to it. If anyone else gets to see it and can use it, so much the better for everyone. Of course, I’d also accept criticism to the code too . So, this is my first one;...

Presenting for the St. Louis .NET User Group – What’s new in VS2010 and .NET 4.0
Last night I had the pleasure of presenting a session on ‘What’s new in VS2010 and .NET 4.0’ for the St. Louis .NET User Group. Got to meet with lots of people there, so greets go to all . I had fun with the session; I liked talking about new technology and it’s pretty neat to see everyone and just mingle around with people in general. Pizza was great (thanks to last night’s sponsor: Quilogy) – I have to also thank Scott Spradlin for allowing me to present to the group. The session itself has the...

.NET 4.0 and C# 4.0 sessions materials
Yes, I know I'm late. Please forgive me . In any case, the .NET 4.0 and C# 4.0 sessions materials are now available. You can download them from here and here, respectively. In hindsight, the .NET 4.0 presentation should've been called: What's new in .NET 4.0; and even then given the vastness of the material available, it should've been split into 2 sessions: What's new in Visual Studio 2010 and What's new in .NET 4.0 Framework. Given the 75 minutes available for the presentation, I decided to focus...

Intermediate WPF session material
One of the sessions I did in St. Louis Day of .NET is about Intermediate WPF. It seems to be one that people seem to have liked, so I’m making the materials available here first for those that may be interested in playing around with it. The overview description was made before the material is done, and I was not able to show 3D graphics within the sample; my apologies. In any case, there’s really no text out there that defines what is Intermediate WPF; so I just created one . The session goes through...

Measure more accurately with Stopwatch
I’m finding that writing blogs actually take quite a bit of time; so I’m writing this fairly short blog in Live Writer, with the hope that I can be more productive since the tool will make it easier for me to blog. So, we’ll see :). I’ve used the Stopwatch class for as long as I can remember. I don’t even remember whether I get to know the class from just browsing MSDN, or reading it from another blog, or just playing around typing stuff (and looking at what’s available through Intellisense). Whenever...

2009 St. Louis Day of .NET Conference - August 28 & 29
Residing in St. Louis, I just wanted to let others know about the upcoming St. Louis Day of .Net conference! This will be the second time around - last year it was held in December (granted we had a mild winter, it's still cold nonetheless) and this year it's going to be held in August - yay, no more cold (I bet it's going to be very hot in fact). And it has so much content, it's spilling over into a 2 day conference!. Conference website is: www.stlouisdayofdotnet.com - check it out, it has lots...
