Code What?

Code Camps (started in 2004 with New England Code Camp 1), are free events, held outside of normal work hours, organized by and for the developer community. They’re a great opportunity to network and to share knowledge without marketing noise getting in the way.

Code Camp has something for every developer - a blend of the technical to the practical, established to new, and beginner to advanced.

Check out the Code Camp Manifesto for the guiding principles.

Register Now

It’s a free event, so register today.

With the strong interest in all of the new technologies recently available and soon to be released, I won’t be surprised if we reach capacity for this Camp.

Speakers Wanted!

Code Camp is driven by speakers who volunteer their time and expertise. From first-time presenters to veterans of national conferences, Code Camps are great because we hear from many perspectives – we want to hear yours.

So, have something to share? Submit a session today:

Sign in to an existing account or create a new one at TheDevCommunity.org site.
Complete a Speaker Registry profile (if you don't already have one.)
Go to the Code Camps home page.
Next to the CC13 entry, you should see a "Submit a Session" link.
Submit as many sessions as you'd like.
Please ensure that you also register as an attendee

Topics are open and sessions are normally scheduled for 75 minutes.

Call for Sponsors/Contributors

Code Camps rely on contributors to donate giveaways and funding for food to help make the event happen. Needed:

Morning coffee (and doughnuts are always appreciated, too)
Lunch
Giveaways – items to be given out by speakers in sessions
SWAG - items like pens, pads, and bags – branded or unbranded – it’s all welcome!

You’ll have a highly-targeted audience thanking your company for its support of the developer community, so please let me know if your company is interested in helping to made Code Camp 13 a success.

Thanks

Thanks to Chris Pels for his continuing help organizing these events and thanks also to Bryan Phillips for creating the Code Camp 13 logo (and logos for several previous Camps)!

See you at Code Camp 13!

Resources and Screencasts from the Northeast MSDN Roadshow “Don’t Fear the Coder” Tour

cbowen — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 15:59:42 GMT

As we gear up for the next Northeast Roadshow series (in March), Jim and I have put the wraps on the previous tour by posting the content and recording screencasts based on each session.

The “Don’t Fear the Coder” tour was a blast, and Jim and I visited a whopping seven cities across the northeast in November and December. Sincere thanks to everyone who was able to attend!

The Sessions…

We’ve recorded screencasts based on each session so people who couldn’t attend (or attendees taking a second look) can still get at the core content.

As always, you can find resources on the Northeast Channel 9 Page and the content and screencasts on the Northeast Roadshow Code Gallery.

Session 1 - Something WCF This Way Comes

The mysterious figure of Windows Communication Foundation approaches from the swirling mist, but are its intentions good? Rumors abound that it can be complex and not for the faint of heart. We'll take a renewed look at WCF, discovering a practical tale of services, connectivity, integration, and more. Our focus will be on WCF’s current nature, but we'll briefly preview what’s in store for us with .NET 4.0. WCF turns out to be a great ally, so you’ll be glad you stood your ground.

Screencast | Presentation Content

Session 2 - RIA Window: MVVM, Silverlight, and Expression Blend

You’ll code your next Silverlight application with grace after you catch this session, which presents the primary motives for using the MVVM pattern. Focusing on the use of Expression Blend, we’ll cast a designer’s lens on Silverlight development enabling you to plot a hitch-free course for your future projects.

Screencast | Presentation Content

Session 3 - Grasping at Lifelines: Finding Developer Help

In the fight to slay invading bugs and put fearsome requirements to rest, sometimes you need a helping hand. In this brief lunchtime session, we'll review options for finding assistance – ways to report and view issues you find, help systems, websites, team options, communities, and more. Breathe easy, there’s no need to wander alone in the dark.

Screencast | Presentation Content

Session 4 - LINQ De-Crypted

Although it’s part of the foundation of the .NET 3.5 release, many developers have yet to uncover the amazing power buried in LINQ (Language Integrated Query). This session will bring to light important concepts found lurking in the shadows of the technology: the IEnumerable and IQueryable interfaces, extension methods, lambda expressions, and more. With LINQ’s defining components unearthed, you’ll vault to new heights in your development efforts.

Screencast | Presentation Content

Session 5 - Tales from the Webside: ASP.NET Web Forms, Scripting, and Ajax

Your journey through web development may at times seem like a montage of foreboding images. There are many paths to consider, but in this session we return to the main roads of essential ASP.NET development. From WebForms and server options, to scripting, AJAX, and other tools, we’ll catch up with the latest developments and take a quick glimpse down the road at what awaits us ahead. Until next time, enjoy trying your new web development options.

Speaking with the New England ASP.NET Professionals Group – Wednesday, Jan 20th

cbowen — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 00:26:12 GMT

I’ll be the speaker for this Wednesday’s (January 20th) meeting of the New England ASP.NET Professionals Group.

I’ll be delving into ASP.NET Web Forms, scripting, AJAX, and jQuery, with a brief look forward to Web Forms in ASP.NET 4.

ASP.NET Web Forms in 3.5 & 4, with AJAX and jQuery

In this session (based on one given for the recent Northeast MSDN Roadshow), we'll return to the main roads of ASP.NET Web Forms development. From Web Forms to scripting, to what's new with AJAX and web tools, we’ll catch up with the latest developments and take a quick glimpse down the road at what awaits us with ASP.NET 4.

The meeting starts at 6:15 PM at the Microsoft office at 201 Jones Road (6th floor), Waltham, MA.

Boston Area WebsiteSpark and BizSpark Meetup Groups

cbowen — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 18:18:19 GMT

Whether you’ve joined, are interested in, or have never heard of the Microsoft WebsiteSpark or BizSpark programs, there are two new groups in Boston to help you learn more and connect with others.

These programs are available to help web developers and designers (WebsiteSpark) or software startups (BizSpark) get software, support and visibility.

If you’re in the greater Boston area, drop by one of these groups to meet others and learn more:

Boston WebsiteSpark Group
For web designers and developers (regardless of participation in the WebsiteSpark program), this group focuses on networking, sharing, and learning a variety of web-related topics.
Boston BizSpark Meetup
For startups (whether already in BizSpark or not), this group is a chance to network, learn, and share advice.

Both groups meet at the Microsoft New England Research & Development (NERD) center in Cambridge.

Announcing the Northeast MSDN Roadshow March 2010 Tour!

cbowen — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 17:11:39 GMT

The plans are set for our next Northeast MSDN Roadshow series, and Jim and I will be consuming coffee aplenty and taking to the roads of the northeast to visit four cities in March.

These are free events with technical sessions for developers and architects. We’ll be covering Windows Azure, data and services (including WCF Data Services and SQL Azure), and taking a look at what’s new in Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.

Full session descriptions are at the end of this post.

The Schedule

The Roadshows are 1-5 PM and, like our Fall 2009 series, several will be the same day as morning TechNet IT Pro events. (They’re separate events, so if you want to attend both, please register for each.)

March 10: Rochester, NY – [Roadshow Registration]
March 12: Albany, NY - [Roadshow Registration]
w/ A.M. TechNet event [TechNet Reg.]
March 24: Waltham, MA – [Roadshow Registration]
w/ A.M. TechNet event [TechNet Reg.]
March 26: Farmington, CT – [Roadshow Registration]
w/ A.M. TechNet event [TechNet Reg.]

Also, keep an eye on the “Northeast Roadshow – Before You Leave the House!” page for any last-minute updates on venues and logistics.

After the tour, we’ll post materials and record screencasts based on the sessions on the Northeast Portal on Channel 9 (head there now for content from previous Roadshows.)

We’ll see you on the road!

The Northeast MSDN Roadshow - "Driving Toward a New Horizon" Tour

It’s a new year and road and code warriors Chris Bowen and Jim O’Neil just can’t wait to return to the highways of the northeast to talk about major technology releases and what’s important for developers.

From writing applications that leverage Windows Azure, Microsoft’s cloud operating system that went live on January 1^st, to new ways of working with services and data like WCF Data Services and SQL Azure, to a look at what’s just around the bend with Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4, let Chris and Jim be your GPS of technology travel.

The Northeast MSDN Roadshow is a free series of deep technology sessions for developers and architects. Register today and join Chris and Jim for these relaxed events to gain practical insights.

So, rev up those developer engines and get ready to roll toward new sights and destinations!

The Agenda: Cloudy (but Clear) Skies, Driving Data, and Visual (Studio) Sights

Windows Azure: What? Why? And a Peek Under the Hood

What is Cloud Computing and where can it take you? In this session, we’ll first focus on showing the potential benefits of creating applications for the cloud with Windows Azure. Then, we’ll pop open the hood to show you around the main parts of the engine, including web roles, worker roles, and queues. You’ll see how Windows Azure plugs in for interoperability with other on-premises and cloud applications via the App Fabric. You’ll also learn how Windows Azure can be used to host technologies other than .NET – such as Java and PHP – and get a glimpse into what’s coming next with project “Sydney” and the integration of Windows Workflow into the cloud.

Data: At Your Service

Services are more than just executable bits of business logic; data too can be provided as a service, and the Microsoft stack offers a number of ways to host your data on and off-premises. Windows Azure provides highly scalable table and blob storage, and SQL Azure brings the relational model to the cloud, but there’s other options as well including exposing your domain data via WCF Data Services and leveraging vetted data service providers such as the Associated Press and the Data.gov via Microsoft “Dallas”. Think of this session as a pit stop to help you examine the data and modeling options best suited to tune your applications.

Visual Studio 2010: That’s a 10-4, Good Buddy
There’s a buzz in the air as Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 are arriving soon, and they’re bringing plenty of cargo that developers will enjoy, from new features to improved productivity. We’ll hop on and take a tour, giving you the lay of the land in terms of what will help you as a developer. The sights will include parallel application development, new editor features and debugging capabilities (including a new historical debugger), improvements for web and Windows development, new .NET language features, and much more.

Free SEO Toolkit for Search Engine Optimization on IIS

cbowen — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 21:36:52 GMT

There’s now a free SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Toolkit that easy to install (via the Web Platform Installer or directly) and use with IIS to analyze your website. It offers reports to help you make your site more search engine friendly, helping to increasing traffic (and helping to get the right kind of traffic). The reports can also identify problems (e.g. missing content, incorrect links, etc.) that can sometimes be difficult to find.

There’s also a 14 minute video walkthrough of how to work with the SEO Toolkit and what it can do for you.

By the way, the SEO Toolkit is just one of many IIS Extensions available (logging, routing, dynamic IP restrictions, smooth streaming, and more.)

Announcing the Architect Factory 2 – Cambridge, January 27

cbowen — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 13:07:30 GMT

The first Architect Factory was held in June and was a great success, helping experienced developers learn the skills to transition into a variety of architect roles.

I’m glad to announce that the Architect Factory 2 is coming to Cambridge, MA on January 27th from 1-8PM.

From the event page:

This, the second Architect Factory event, focuses on you, senior technologists interested in becoming software, solutions, enterprise, or design architects. This event helps bridge the knowledge gap between senior technical, design, enterprise, information, and solutions roles and real-world architecture roles, putting you on the path to becoming an architect in your field.

The event is free and features three tracks of content along with time for interaction and networking.

Thanks to Bryan Tuttle (he’s the speaker in the first picture above) and the team of volunteers for making this possible!

Registration is Now Open

The event will be held at the Microsoft NERD (New England Research & Development) facility in Cambridge, MA.

Call for Speakers

This is a volunteer-driven event, and speakers of any technology background are welcome and encouraged to submit sessions that will help experienced developers to assume architect roles.

The Call for Speakers will close on January 21st.

See the event page for details on the tracks, type of content being sought, and how to submit your ideas.
