Presenting at CodeCamp in Wichita, KS on June 3rd.

I’ll be presenting 2 sessions at the Wichita Developer’s CodeCamp this coming Saturday, June 3rd.

The first session will cover building a strongly-typed session wrapper class. Session has always been an issue with me, because for one, its not strongly-typed, and secondly, you have to worry about developers just stuffing things into it and bloating it badly. With a wrapper class, you can use strongly-typed properties and store the entire class itself in session, thus only have a single key-value pair session variable for your users. You also enforce the use of the wrapper so that your session doesn’t get out of control. Also, for those rare occassions when you might want to, your session wrapper class can also be serialized. If you are in the Wichita, Kansas area this Saturday, come see how to do this. I will also cover creating wrapper classes for cache and viewstate.

The second session will cover Continious Integration. In this session, we will do an entire walkthough on setting up a continuous integration server. Tools that will be covered are Subversion, NDepend, FxCop, NCover, NUnit (from TestDriven.Net), NAnt and CruiseControl.Net. Come check out the session and walk away with an integration server running on your laptop, including all the tools listed.

Ahhh, my hometown. You can see the first Pizza Hut on the Wichita State University campus if that kind of thing excites you. Not much else to do there. The science center down by the river is neat.

Otherwise, best BBQ is at Pig-in,Pig-out on the east side of the city. mmmmmmm. Have fun!

Man, I wish I could be there. Any chance you will post your slide deck, code, etc. from your presentation? Even better is there any chance that you would present the material at an OKC Dev Group meeting?

Thanks

Stephen put in a request to Cos@okcpro.net for the session. I'm assuming you mean the continous integration. The strongly-typed session presentation I did last year.

No slide decks. I don't use them for code camps. Just straight code, and in the CI case, straight tools and configs to get people up and running.

Yup, I was refering to the CI presentation. I just sent an email to Cos.
