Announcing Doing .Net Days [Day #2]
Recently I kicked off “doing .Net days”, a community training program for those interested in .NET development topics. The inaugural session took place in August and now it’s time to announce the next session, which is planned for November the 7th 2009. The topic for “day 2″ will be “Using the Entity Framework with Domain Drive Design” and will incorporate a discussion and demonstration of Repositories, Fetching Strategies and Specifications.
If you would like to register for the event please send me an email here. There are only 10 seats available so get in quick. Whilst the program is offered at no charge, a $5 dollar donation from attendees will go along way to defray the cost of the community centre room which is decked out with PC’s for each attendee. The venue is the Point Cook Community Learning Centre in the Western Suburbs of Melbourne Australia.
UPDATE:
Check the comments to see how many seats are still available.
The code dreaming developer syndrome – is it real?
Ok, so it happened to me again, another unsettled night of sleep punctuated with moments of awakening that included the same piece of code running through my head. What was the code you ask? The code was nothing special by any stretch of the imagination – just the same two interfaces over and over again, first at 1am then 2am, 3.15am and on it went at hourly intervals.
This is not the first time this has happened to me, in fact I have dreamt code a dozen or so times before and it’s always during unsettled nights where I would awake several times with the same code reverberating in my head. I have asked colleagues about this a few times and have found that one or two of them have also experienced this phenomenon and a bit of research seems to indicate that I am not alone (which I expected). What about you – do you dream code?
