Cincinnati/Dayton Code Camp

Yesterday I attended the Cincinnati/Dayton Code Camp. Due to other commitments, I was only able to attend the morning sessions but they were well worth it.

1. I attended Joe Whirtley's Practical ASP.NET Caching session.  Very informative session on Joe's tribulations on caching. I spoke to Joe for a few minutes after his session to discuss Delphi - he was a Delphi guy until 3-4 years ago.
2. The second session I went to was James Avery's MbUnit. It was AWESOME! James covered RowTest, PairWise, RollBack2, Duration, Repeat, ThreadedRepeat, plus covered information on additional fixtures, attributes, and assertions. James is a very dynamic speaker and made it very enjoyable. Steven Harman, who is wicked smart, added some great insight on his uses of MbUnit with SubText. The only negative with the session was they messed up on time because we shut down 10 minutes before the session was supposed to be over. I could listen to James speak all day. I am definitely a MbUnit convert.
3. The final session of the day was Jim Holmes covering SharePoint 2007. The session covered Workflow and the tools Jim uses. The session was tremendously informative. SharePoint seems like one of those products where it is not there yet on the development side so there is still much you need to do which is manual. Jim coverered A LOT of tools to help with the manual process. Some included the VS Window Manager Power Toy, SlickRun, iisapp.vbs, Watir, WatiN, plus numerous others. As someone who will be starting up their first SharePoint project soon, this session was gold.

All it all it was a great day. I wish I was able to attend the closing session since they were going to raffle off some great software. Also there were several sessions which I missed such as Dustin Campbell (Delegates and Events).
