Wellington Code Camp Completed, SharePoint Conference Tomorrow
This week the MSDN Flash is all about spreading the word of three awesome community run events past and present.
- The Wellington Code Camp. took place on the 13/14th June
- The New Zealand Community SharePoint Conference is tomorrow in Wellington.
- Barcamp Auckland 3 is coming up on the 11th July in Auckland.
Although I didn't attend Code Camp I hear that Ivan's dance moves were legendary. Code Camp was enthusiastically organised by Kirk, Ivan, JD, JB and Owen. Here are a few blog posts that I found summing up the event:
- Building Solutions Using Microsoft Products - Andrew Tokeley
- Code Camp learnings - Kirk Jackson
- Maintainable Code: one step further - Bevan Arps
- .NET 4.0 Code Contracts - James Newton King
- The Microsoft Sync Framework - James Hippolite
- LINQ, lambdas and extensions - Matthew Hintzen
- Owen Evans promises to have videos of the sessions for you all shortly.
Off the back of the Code Camp, the new Wellington Silverlight User Group was formed. Their first meeting is tonight, so try to get along to it!
The buzz is really starting to build around the New Zealand SharePoint Conference that is set to kick off tomorrow. Word is that there are still a few tickets available so register now if you can make it along! If you can't get there follow NZ SharePoint to stay up to date. The New Zealand Community SharePoint Conference is the brainchild of three SharePoint MVPs Debbie, Mark and Chandima.
Not to be outdone by Wellington, Auckland is hosting BCA3 on Sat 11th July. BCA is focused on the cross-pollination of ideas and knowledge.
Finally on the topic of awesome events don't miss out on the NZ IT Industry's best technical training event. Tech-Ed NZ is taking place in Auckland on the 14/16th September. We have 14 simultaneous tracks of content and have sold more than half of our event tickets!
Register for Tech Ed before 31 July and you will automatically go into the draw to win one of seven Canon IXUS 100 IS digital cameras. Full details of the Tech Ed special offer are here.
