“There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult. —Sir Charles Antony Richard Hoare”

Going to DevTeach and ALT.NET Vancouver 2009

http://www.devteach.com/Index.aspx

So I just found out about DevTeach this week thanks to Ayende, which is both good and bad. Good, because I found out in time to register for what looks like an amazing event that will cover a lot of topics I am just starting to grasp like Inversion of Control and ORM. Bad, because I found out way too late for the early-bird discounts :-(. I did manage to find a $100 discount code though by googling for them so it wasn’t all bad.

I plan to spend a lot of time in the Agile track sessions but there are some other sessions I will likely try to attend. I am torn between learning how to develop for the iPhone in .NET and attending Oren Eini’s session on advanced IoC. I will be attending the pre-conference workshop on Agile, IoC and ORM which Oren is co-presenting so perhaps I can use that as an excuse to satisfy my selfish desire to learn how to code for the iPhone (I don’t even own one…).

Right after DevTeach there is a free conference for Alt.NET (http://altnetconfcanada.com/home/index.castle) I think there is still a lot of space to register and it is is free!

I expect it to be a busy week.
