Will You Host the Next SQLSaturday?

How to have more SQLSaturdays ? Over the past year we've been working on the ambitious goal of building a national franchise for SQL community events, one that is based on local involvement, a repeatable process, and a reusable web site. We've had good success here in Florida (three events completed...

SQL Saturday

I've just received notice that I will be a presenter at the upcoming SQL Saturday event in Jacksonville, Florida. I'll be speaking about the SQL SMO object namespace and how this powerful set of classes can be used to administer SQL Server instances programmatically. I'm looking forward to...

More Thoughts on LINQ to SQL

At the recent Orlando Code Camp I had the opportunity to spend a good bit of time discussing LINQ to SQL with Jim Wooley , author of Linq In Action . It was really an interesting conversation. Clearly Jim likes LINQ and sees some opportunities there for developers. As we discussed it more a couple interesting...

Orlando Code Code Follow Up

Although attendance was down this year (around 280 attendees) due to it being held Easter weekend, I thought this was easily the best of the Orlando Code Camps so far. More volunteers, better logistics, and definitely a great site (same as we used for SQLSaturday#1 in Orlando) all combined to make it...

Reminder - Orlando Code Camp is Mar 22, 2008

Just a reminder that the event is this Saturday. The tentative schedule has been posted and it looks like I'll be doing my presentation as the last one of the day (hopefully that's good). Overall not a lot of SQL content - if you don't count LINQ that is - but it is after all a .Net centric...

IndyTechFest 2008 Set for Oct 4, 2008

I've been emailing back and forth with IndyTechfest organizer John Magnabosco over the past year as we've traded notes about running community events, so when he invited me to attend as a speaker it seemed like the perfect opportunity to go see first hand how they do things. I've never been...

Orlando Code Camp 2008 - Registration & Call for Speakers is Open

My friend Shawn Weisfeld is expecting more than 400 attendees at Orlando Code Camp this year. There will be at least six tracks and probably more if Shawn can find the space, and lunch this year is sandwiches courtesy of Publix rather than the same old pizza we've had in previous years. I've...

Should Code Camp/SQLSaturday Be Free?

Recently I posted about making sponsorship work to lay out some ideas for events that are seeking sponsors. My friend Shawn Weisfeld manages the Orlando .Net group and he posted his thoughts on sponsorship yesterday. The Code Camp Manifesto is where it all started and it definitely focuses not just on...
