If you are not familiar with a SQL Saturday, it's like a Code Camp, but focused on SQL Server. SQL Saturday #14 is the Pensacola, Florida event for 2009. The lineup of sessions, location, and registration is available from the SQL Saturday web site at http://www.sqlsaturday.com/eventhome.aspx?eventid=18. I will be presenting a session on the SQL … Continue reading SQL Saturday #14 in Pensacola, FL Coming Up (June 6)
From what I saw, the Atlanta Code Camp yesterday, March 14, was a success. Attendance was great, there were many sessions, and the location (Georgia Gwinnett College) is very well suited for a Code Camp. Thank you to those who attended my sessions on the ADO.NET Entity Framework and SQL Server 2008 FILESTREAM. Unfortunately, we … Continue reading Atlanta Code Camp 2009 Wrap-Up
For your day-to-day activities, that is. The blog post below points this out one more time: NEWS: “Removing end user admin rights eliminates 92% of vulnerabilities" This advice holds independent of operating system, version, etc. I do believe though that Vista's User Account Control (UAC) provides significant security and usability benefits by allowing people to … Continue reading Logging On as Administrator is a Bad Idea…
From ComputerWorld: Microsoft: Office 14 won't ship until 2010 Is it the economy? I wonder how Software Assurance customers feel about this... After all, they are the ones who have already paid for it!

Post a comment to this blog if you are interested … Continue reading Atlanta Code Camp 2009 Coming Up
The Atlanta Code Camp 2007 (http://www.atlantacodecamp.com) was another successful CodeCamp event. I presented a session on creating a custom extender with ASP.NET AJAX RC. If you were present in Montgomery, you'll find the download from the Atlanta Code Camp useful, as it has been revised for RC (I used Beta 2 during the Montgomery CodeCamp). … Continue reading Atlanta Code Camp 2007 Session
Yesterday's third Alabama Code Camp was a good experience for me. Contrary to my post on 9/12, I did not do a talk on Windows Communication Foundation, but added a session on creating an Extender with ASP.NET AJAX ("Atlas"). The evening before the event, I was asked to take over a session for Joe Healy, … Continue reading Alabama Code Camp 3 Experience
The Alabama Code Camp is having its third edition on Saturday, October 28th in Montgomery (Auburn University at Montgomery). I missed the second edition, because Huntsville is quite a while away from Troy. However, Montgomery is probably as close as it will come, so I will be there. I have submitted a proposal for a … Continue reading Alabama Code Camp No. 3: October 28, 2006
The title of this post might actually be more appropriate if it was called what aren't they planning. If you've been reading my blog, you'll know that I was an active beta tester during the Visual Studio 2005 beta period. Microsoft sent me (and many others) a Customer Appreciation Award. Nice token, thanks for that. … Continue reading Visual Studio Orcas: What is Microsoft Planning?
(Note: This is my first "live" blog post...) I am in Atlanta for Windows Vista Developer Training. I've had a chance to get used to the user experience (UX) in Windows Vista, and I like it. The developer side of Vista is exciting also, but is clearly still in the works. The lab exercises that … Continue reading Windows Vista Developer Training: WCF Lab 2 Update
