Wow.
That was a wonderful day, and the sessions I ended up going to were:
- @ICooper's session on MVC Architecture (preaching the choir but good to be re-assured)
- @robashton's session on Multi-tenant ASP.NET MVC (obviously)
- @holytshirt's session on Mono (Good to see this project is advancing well)
- @garyshort's session on JClosure (Lovely!)
- @blowdart's session on the crystal maze
The last session was interrupted constantly by the MVPs and associated crowd because Barry is leaving the UK and heading off to MS to learn how to spell :)
There isn't much specifically to talk about really, it's been said by everybody. The event was well organised, the post-event meal was also surprisingly kept in control and the post-event drinks ... well I'd had no sleep the previous night so I left early. I believe fun was had by all however.
My talk? I think it went okay - I was a bit nervous presenting on a subject that doesn't get talked about openly all that much, and worried the audience might throw a few massive spanners in the works (although I am open to change, I don't want to be told outright I'm wrong in the middle of a talk!)
I spoke a bit fast, and had a minor emergency at the start when realising I needed an adapter for my laptop, but was saved by the team whose job it was to babysit me and massive thanks goes to them for saving my presentation :)
My slides can be found here, and demo code can be found here.
The nerd dinner multi-tenant example can be found on the MvcEx codeplex site (http://mvcex.codeplex.com) - but I'll be hoping to improve it beyond its "suitable for demo" stage and do some blog entries on the rationale behind some of the decisions/concepts found within over the coming weeks.
It's not perfect, it's not anywhere near done and as I keep telling people, it's just for reference purposes (at present), feel free to make suggestions, contributions and etc and we'll get there in the end. Multi-tenancy is the future you know?
