I had a great time presenting at
NoVA Code Camp 2010. I always love to see what other developers are doing and spread my wings into new technology. Unfortunately, my speaking slot was during the second half of the US v England World Cup match. ESPN3 FTW!!!!
I presented on the
Windows Azure Toolkit for Facebook. This is an application toolkit and template created by
Thuzi and hosted on CodePlex. Their CTO
Jim Zimmerman provided a
great overview at Mix 2010. This presentation focused on the why and how of building and deploying to Facebook and Azure. In doing my background for this presentation, I really began to see Facebook as a development platform and as another tool for certain web applications.

Continuous Integration is a software development practice where members of a team integrate their work frequently. Each integration is verified by an automated build to detect integration errors as quickly as possible.
Software teams can benefit from Continuous Integration for both coordination and automation. We'll be discussing the people that can and should participate in CI, the processes that we can implement and then automate, and look at the technology that makes all of this possible. I've attached the presentation I gave at the CapArea .NET User Group on Nov 16, 2009.

I was lucky enough to present at the 2009.2 Northern Virginia Code Camp today. As usual we had a wide range of interests and got to reconnect with peers across the region. A great time was had by all. I was presenting Grid Computing on Windows Azure. I think this is a great application architecture that is easier to setup in a cloud environment rather than trying to install and run in your enterprise.
In my presentation I talk about the benefits of Grid Computing and how we can leverage Windows Azure to write our own grid apps. You can download my deck and the demo code.
I'd like to thank David Pallman for doing the hard work to release this to the community. I encourage you to download the Azure Grid framework and get started today.
