If you missed the LIVE presentation of the Windows Phone Workshop, you can view the Video here.
An all-day free event to get you up and running quickly with Team Foundation Server 2010.
Continental breakfast and lunch are provided. Event starts at 9:00AM and ends at 5:00PM.
This event is held at three locations in January:
- January 11th – Microsoft Office, Los Angeles
- January 18th – Microsoft Office, San Diego
- January 25th – Microsoft Office, Orange County
Description
Our goal is to quickly bring you up to speed with the essentials features of Team Foundation Server 2010 so that you can quickly setup and be productive in your own TFS environment. We start out by outlining a generic development process which embodies basic activities that are encountered in any software development process.
We’ll use those activities as the context in which you’ll learn to use TFS and you’ll be able to easily map those activities into the process that you use in your own development work.

The SoCalCodeCamp just ended but that does not mean the fun has to stop. The Desert Code Camp will be coming up in a few months http://apr2011.desertcodecamp.com/ and we are looking at taking a bus trip from Southern California to Arizona so that we can join in the fun. We have put together a quick survey to find out if we would have enough people to rent the bus. You can see the survey here –> http://bit.ly/ia8ONg . This does not tie you in, it is just a way to gauge interest so we can work on exact prices and possibly get a group rate at one of the hotels near the code camp. If you are interested in joining me (and I am sure I can talk Woody into going) on a bus to the code camp, then fill out the survey and leave your email . http://bit.ly/ia8ONg
hmmmmm maybe since its code camp we should take an RV… (mmm never mind)

I attended DrupalCampLA last weekend (8/8/2009) and had a blast talking to people. We were there to show how easy it is to install Drupal on and windows web server (IIS) using the Web Platform installer. Since we were a sponsor of the event as well, I decided to bring a Windows 7 Multi-touch machine to show everyone. It was quite a hit. Most of the attendees had never seen or heard about the multi-touch features of Windows 7. A number of them were impressed with how it really made their websites come to life for demo purposes. While I was there I was able to share information on Rob Bagby’s talk about how to integrate both Silverlight and Windows Azure into a Drupal Installation.
While I was in the sponsors room. I also took the time to quickly demo how easy it was to install Drupal on my Windows 7 Machine.
Since most of the attendees were consultants that implemented Drupal for their clients, they were excited to find out that they could install it on IIS. This gives them a greater chance of landing clients and greater flexibly in the operation systems that their clients use.
All-in-all, it was a great event and a great time.
See you Socially ….. Daniel
