Selected for ConFoo 2015

I’ve been selected to speak at ConFoo in Montreal in Feb of 2015! I’m pretty excited about this as I’ve heard some really great things about the conference, and I’ll get a chance to visit Montreal which I’ve never been to before. I really enjoy these international events as I always meet some really amazing people, learn some cool things and get different perspectives on technology from all over.

Silicon Valley Code Camp - 2014

A few weeks ago I attended what is likely the largest code camp in the world, the Silicon Valley Code Camp in Los Altos Hills, California in the US. The event was quite the experience. First, it was held at Foothill College, so moving around the campus felt a lot like being back in school, except that a bunch of fellow geeks were all wondering around as well rather (I went to a school better known for law enforcement, fire safety and nursing, so slightly different crowd).

I'm on .NET Rocks!

About a year or so after I got started with .NET (which was back in 2001 using Beta 2 for 1.0) I came across the .NET Rocks podcast. I was doing a lot of driving in those days commuting a little over an hour each way to work, so a technical podcast fit in perfectly. I’ve learned a ton of stuff from the podcast over the years and they have had some really great guests on.
