Session Recommendations for SoCal Code Camp @ USC

By tewari | Published: November 12, 2009

SoCal Code Camp is coming up on November 21st & 22nd 2009 at University of Southern California, Los Angeles. There is just an incredible lineup of sessions. If you are trying to make up your mind about the sessions to attend, here are my recommendations -

1. Attend as many of Llewellyn Falco’s and Woody Zuill’s sessions as you can. Specially, Unit Testing The Easy Way and one of the Dojo sessions. Any one of these sessions will make your entire trip worthwhile.

2.Kristian Hermansen’s Get Hacked Live ..

3. Stacey Broadwell’s Using Technology & Social Media to Target Candidates & Jobs should be very useful. I attended her recent presentation at L.A. Dot Net @ UCLA, it was very informative.

4. and of course If it walks like a Scrum … by yours sincerely.

I am planning to attend as many of the following sessions as the schedule allows -

* Algorithmic Trading in C#
scott hodson

* Automated Grid layout in Silverlight and WPF
Richard Fencel

* Building nTier Applications with Entity Framework Services
David McCarter

* Experiencing Agile Through Games
Carlton Nettleton

* Interoperability in the Cloud
Alejandro Espinoza

* Rapid Prototyping with Expression Blend
mark bosley

* One of Paul Sheriff’s WPF presentations

* SCRUM CLUB: Agile Requirements Gathering Workshop!
Amanda Abelove

See you there !

Notes

Using DbUpdater with MySql
DbUpdater can be used with mysql. Here are the files you need to jumpstart the integration – DbUpdater-MySql.zip 1. You might need to change the path to mysql.exe in mysql-exec.bat. 2. Modify values in mysql-sample-command-line.bat. Make sure mysql.data.dll is placed in GAC or in the same directory as DbUpdater.exe. Connector binaries can be downloaded from here - http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/6.1.html (0)

Online Backup Solution
Finalized online backup solution : JungleDisk. I can run it on all of my machines without paying extra. I get to keep the ownership of my data – by using my own Amazon S3 storage. Backed up all family photos – all 30 GBs. Feeling good (0)

Switched to Thematic
I have switched to Thematic theme on this blog over the weekend. I created a child theme after playing around with the customization hooks. I added a widgetized area below main asides, did some css modifications and created a three column, flexible layout just the way I wanted. I am so glad I switched to Thematic. ThemeShaper forums are very helpful. These articles were just what I needed to get started : How to make a child theme for WordPress and How I used a WordPress Child Theme To Redesign My Blog. (0)
