I’ve just had two evenings of fun talking about professionalism at Cornerstones event “Pimp My Code” in Gothenburg (yesterday) and Stockholm (tonight). Listened to some interesting talks and enjoyed a few conversations over food and beer. As promised you can find my slides under “Talks”. Since my slides are almost all photographs and no text what so ever, I’ve included some “speaker’s notes” as well.

Sunday, January 25th, 2009It is time for the ALT.NET minded in Sweden (or at least in/near Stockholm) to convene for a second unconference. This time we will start with lightning talks and then continue with Open Space sessions. In the evening we will dine and perhaps drink a few beers at some restaurant in the vicinity. The event will take place at Alecta, Regeringsgatan 107, the Saturday of February 7 from 11 to 17.
Register at http://altdotnet.se/ (in Swedish) and feel free to submit a topic of a lightning talk. Among the topics so far:
- Iphone development
- BDD with MSpec (yours truly!)
- Continuous Integration
- Code rot
- OpenTK
- Should we stop using mocking frameworks?
- Object databases for .NET
Hope to see you there!
Pimp Your Code
Sunday, January 11th, 2009In the end of this month I’ll be doing the introduction talk to Cornerstone’s Pimp My Code in both Gothenburg (Jan 27) and Stockholm (Jan 28). I will talk about professionalism and what characterizes a professional developer after which other speakers talk about some of the topics I bring up. Patrik Löwendahl talks about the SOLID principles, Fredrik Normén about refactoring to design patterns and principles and Dag König about tools that help you achieve better code quality.
If this doesn’t get you excited you should know that the event is in the evening and that there will be food and beers…
