Calling All Albertan Developers...PrDC is Approaching!

I am excited to see the stars aligning for another round of Prairie Dev Con.  This will be my third time speaking at PrDC and my first time in Calgary, where I worked for the better part of six years.  I’m looking forward to getting back there…I can hear the mountains calling!

There’s a great mix of sessions covering a variety of topics.  Some heavyweights from Microsoft are going to be there, delivering over 30 sessions on MS technologies.  There’s also a ton of great speakers covering agile, data, patterns and newer trends such as NoSQL.  Calgary local Simon Timms will even run you through what it takes to hack leverage phone systems in interesting ways.  Interested in Windows Phone development?  The one-and-only Bil Simser will be on hand to walk you through from project start to phone deployment.

Myself, I’ll be covering application development on the ASP.NET MVC framework.  I’m doing an intro session that is a 65 minute wild ride through a project, as well as a Dojo-style 2 hour marathon for which you’ll need to prove yourself as a developer by writing code.  Bring your laptop!

Registration is still open…head over to http://www.prairiedevcon.com for more information!
