Where It's AATT! - new WebCast series: It's All About The Tools!
In partnership with Microsoft MSDN Developer Evangelist Russ Fustino, we've launched a new seminar series dubbed where It's AATT! The It's All About The Tools! series is by developers, for developers - a tools demo extravaganza that's designed to help you get your job done faster and easier.
The first episode was delivered in 30 or so sessions up and down the east coast USA, and was very well received. The second episode is in circulation at developer events in and around Florida, and will be moving up the east coast soon. More events are planned down the road - watch for info and materials here, and you can get the slide decks here.
Day of Patterns & Practices - PnPGuidance.net
The second-annual "Day Of" event that David Hayden (MVP) and myself created was held on January 31, 2008 in Tampa, FL. Check out the PnPGuidance.net website for links and info. Dave and I are covering updated P&P software factories material. This year we have Jeff Barnes (MS Architect Evangelist) and Ron Jacobs (MS P&P group) also talking on test-driven development and the new ASP.NET MVC framework. We're hoping to make this an annual event, and possibly bring it to other cities around Florida.

Don't know what a CodeCamp is? Here's a blog post by David Hayden that talks more about the spirit of the CodeCamp. These are excellent free events that you've got to experience to believe, typically with Pub Club events before/after. These are terrific events for getting some quality networking time, and to learn something to boot!
This year I'll be doing talks on Software Factories, DotNetNuke, VB new features, and Visual Studio 2008 / FW3 dev. If you're interested in getting some speaking experience, CodeCamp is a great place to do just that. Email Joe Healy or shoot me a note if you're interested.
