During my Dependency Injection and Inversion of Container Primer presentation at the 2011 NoVa Code Camp, I had several attendees inquire about whether I could provide the slides and code. The slides and code can now be found here. I want to give a big THANKS to all who attended. During the presentation, there were several great discussions which indicated to me the wheels were turning already.

The code and slides from my Developing WPF Applications using Model-View-ViewModel session at Richmond Code Camp can be found HERE.

Central Penn .NET Code Camp 2009 – Developing WPF Applications with Prism

John Blumenauer — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 02:44:01 GMT

Thanks to all the attendees who came to my session on Developing WPF Applications with Prism at Central Penn .NET Code Camp. It seems many developers are investigating ways to architect WPF applications to be more dynamic and extensible. Hopefully, I provided them with a number of ideas to tackle this challenge. The slides from my session can be found HERE. If you experience any problems downloading the slides or code, please let me know.

Like all the other code camps I’ve attended this year, the organizers did a FANTASTIC job! The venue was excellent and there was a very nice selection of topics by some very knowledgeable speakers. During lunch, the speakers participated in a “Ask the Expert” panel discussion. After the speakers had an opportunity to reveal technologies they were most excited about, the attendees had the opportunity to ask questions about some of their favorite topics. Needless to say, it was a very lively discussion with plenty of valuable information for all. I’m looking forward to next year’s Central Penn .NET Code Camp.

John Blumenauer — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:56:24 GMT

Thanks to all the attendees who came to my session on Exception Handling and Memory Management at Philly.NET Code Camp. Exception Handling and Memory Management are often overlooked when developing .NET applications. Hopefully, the session brought to light a number of best practices for .NET application development. It was my first time doing a session in the Beginner track. It was a great deal of fun to present the material to an audience filled with enthusiasm about the framework.

The slides can be found HERE. If you experience any problems downloading the slides or code, please let me know.

A big THANKS to everyone who attended my session today at NoVA Code Camp. Hopefully, I provided attendees with at least an introductory knowledge of Unity Application Block, Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control that will allow them to start loosening dependencies in their applications. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

The code samples and slides for both sessions can be found HERE. Also, lately I’ve been experimenting with posting my code via my Windows Live SkyDrive account. If you experience any problems downloading the slides or code, please let me know.
