Last week I did a webinar for DevExpress on XPO, their object/relational mapping product. It went well, I had fun, and around 60 or so people stayed till the end, so it can’t have been half bad! ;-) If you would like to see the webinar, it’s now up on the DevExpress site — click this link to watch it. I had a few requests for the samples I was using and writing during the webinar, so I’m making them available for download. Have fun!

Have fun!


Mehul just posted about it: there’s a free DevExpress XPO webinar coming up on March 31st, 2011. Presented by, well, me :-) Many of you may remember that I and XPO go way back, and during my time at DevExpress I had a chance to work with the team that made the product and, so I hope, push it a little in the right direction. These days, XPO is still a product I like to use and to recommend to my consulting clients [LINK REMOVED] — together with XAF or on its own, it’s usually my .NET data layer …

Next week, on the evening of February 17th, I’ll be doing a talk for the .NET Usergroup Frankfurt in Bad Homburg, Germany. The title is Dynamik in .NET 4.0 (that’s not a spelling mistake, that’s German — but you can guess what it means). They tell me you really need to sign up for this, but there are currently seats available. Follow this link to a page with details about the event, or go to the main page for the user group, which has a link to sign up. I hope to see you there! …

Last week was Basta! week in Mainz, Germany. I had a great time, as usual, with all the sessions, workshops, nightschools and keynotes I did… thank you to everybody who helped organize the event, and of course to those who attended! I hope to see all of you again next year! Here are the slides and samples from all my presentation (with the exception of the keynote — these were just pictures anyway…).

Next week I’ll be in Mainz, Germany for Basta! Conference, the largest .NET event over there. Just like the past few years, I have been the Advisory Board member responsible for the C# Days. These are Tuesday and Wednesday, and I’m sure they’ll be great again. DevExpress are exhibiting at Basta!, and on each of the three main conference days (that’s Tuesday to Thursday), I will be at their booth at 1:30pm (13:30 for th …
