I'll be presenting the new
Infragistics Aikido Framework in a lunch-time session in the Patterns and Practices summit.
Aikido is quite cool. It's very well designed and it makes very easy to create advanced controls that support advanced features like DataBinding, Templating and Appstyling. I'll show how to build a control from scratch that takes advantage of it.
The summit content looks quite promising. I'll spend the whole week there, and post my impressions here.
BTW, Scott Hanselman is organizing a nerd dinner for Thursday. I'll be there.
I did a presentation on LinQ last Wednesday in the Buenos Aires CodeCamp.
The event was quite fun. I attended to a presentation by Damian Galletini about Robotics Studio that was quite enlightening. The Robotics Studio runtime is built on top of WCF, and Robotics Studio itself has a very interesting DSL for programming the Robots. I did not know anything about Robots. It's quite easy and fun to use. Anyway I'll need to wait a couple of years until I have an excuse to buy my older kid a Lego Mindstorm NXT.
I had a great time with the Southworks guys who acted as my hosts in Buenos Aires. Johnny Halife and Paulo Arancibia also presented.
Jonas Stawski had the idea of doing it in Buenos Aires, and Pablo Michelis and his girls organized it. Congratulations to all of them!
