I just got back from the Visual Studio 2008 InstallFest in Indianapolis.
Dave Bost from Microsoft was on hand with some awesome prizes from the source. I won a IndyTechFest polo shirt. There was Xbox360 to be had, awesome catered food (lasagna, salad, cake!), and some good networking.
There were also open-mic style code demos. Topics included:
- Syndication services
- Unit testing
- Javascript debugger in VS2008
- Code metrics
- System.HashSet
- System.AddIns
I
twittered from the event and took some pictures with
SnapFoo
We collected Toys for the WRTV6 toy drive. I brought one of those things that you stick your hand or whatever on and it makes a 3d "image" out of the impression in pins. I have one and love it, hopefully some kid gets as excited about it as I do. Haha.
