Orlando Code Camp 2015

It was nice to see everyone that came out to Orlando Code Camp 2015! As I understand it there were 800+ attendees and a ton of great speakers and content. I enjoyed doing my presentation entitled, "Single Page Applications for the ASP.NET Developer using AngularJS, TypeScript, and WebAPI" There was a great turn out and was I was happy to be there.

For those interested, here is the URL to the GitHub repository with the sample app:

I really enjoy speaking at events put on by the Orlando .NET User Group (ONETUG). They are a fantastic group of individuals, and I look forward to hopefully speaking down in Orlando later this year at another user group event!

I'm Speaking at Orlando Code Camp 2015

Orlando Code Camp 2015 is almost here! This Saturday, March 28th I'll be down at Code Camp presenting on my session titled, "Single Page Applications for the ASP.NET Developer using AngularJS, TypeScript, and WebAPI" If you are interested in web development, or just curious about what SPAs entail this should be a great session to attend. 

The best part about Code Camp is it is FREE to attend and draws some fantastic speakers and attendees from all around. In all the years I have attended, I really think it's on par with some of the major software conferences and has many of the same speakers too. It's well worth attending to get some great information and have a chance to network with area peers.

Upcoming Speaking Events: Orlando Modern Apps LIVE! (LIVE! 360) and ONETUG Meeting

I really excited to move to the next step in my venture of helping others in the realm of software engineering with (2) upcoming speaking engagements. I'll be speaking in November at Modern Apps LIVE! as part of the LIVE! 360 conference in Orlando, FL. I'll also be speaking in September at the Orlando .NET User group meeting.

Registration for LIVE! 360 in Orlando this fall which runs from November 17-21 is now open. If you have not been to this conference previously, you should really consider attending to get out of the vacuum which is the daily routine and see what's really out there in the world of .NET and related technology development. The conference over the years has done wonders for my career in the way of knowledge gained in addition to helping land me at my current employer Magenic for which I'm truly grateful. The wealth of knowledge and network potential that exists is unparalleled to most other events live or virtual.
