I've just got back from the fantastic Alt.Net conference which was held at the offices of Black Marble in Bradford, West Yorkshire. The entire day was very well organised by Richard Fennell. There were lots of different topics on the agenda including:
- Microsoft MVC
- Silverlight
- Agile Project Mangement
- Inversion Of Control
- Domain Specific Languages and Fluent Interfaces
- What Happened To Design?
- Which ORM?
- Azure and The Cloud
I started the day looking for inspiration and I certainly found it! Whenever I attend conferences I am not looking for detailed information on a topic, I am predominantly looking for new ideas and directions I had not thought of.
The things I learned about that I am going to tke further are:
- Azure
- Inversion Of Control
- Domain Specific Languages and Fluent Interfaces
- Microsoft MVC
The discussions were all lively, but courteous and respectful, even when the contentious issue of Which ORM was discussed!
Anyone wishing to follow up on any of the issues raised at Alt.Net are welcome to contact me or come along to
Agile Yorkshire and find out more!
