Ready for a new day

June 14, 2008 (Last Modified: June 15, 2008)

Well, true to my normal Monday I woke up at around 5:00 am. The problem with that is that out on the Pacific coast that means 2:00 am. Well, I did get a somewhat more of a lie in than that, but I’m still up and ready well before I need to be.

Today is the first day of the Patterns and Practices Summit West 2006. This morning’s keynote is by Brad Abrams on “Principles of Framework Design”. I saw Brad give a related talk last year at PDC. Other sessions today will hopefully prove to be very interesting:

Dependency Injection Architecutre - Brad Wilson
Enterprise Library 3.0 - Tom Hollander
CSLA Framework - Lessons Learned - Rocky Lhotka
Application Framework Projects in IT - Jonathan Wanagel
Architecting for Security - Shawn Veney
Generating Skeletal Baseline Applications - David Trowbridge

I’m especially looking forward to the first two.

Well, time to get some breakfast and figure out just where I’m supposed to go.
