Norwegian Developers Conference 2010 - Aftermath
First of all - NDC 2010 rocked. I had a great time over in Oslo, which despite being super expensive is also wonderfully beautiful. The conference was wonderfully well put together and had a great time meeting plenty of familiar faces as well as many other new faces.
A few of the things I was involved with at NDC 2010...
.Net Rocks Podcast: I was warmly invited onto the show by Carl Franklin with Jackson Harper to chat about Mono, Moonlight and MonoTouch. It was quite surreal being in a fishbowl in the middle of a big arena but fun none-the-less.
ASP.NET MVC vs Ruby On Rails Panel / .Net Rocks Live! - I was lucky enough to be a part of a live .Net Rocks Web panel on the last day of the conference with Scott Bellware, Hadi Hariri and Rob Conery. I'm glad it didn't turn into a big "Which framework/language is better" because it's really easy to use both. I even run monotouchexamples.com on Rails so I'm a big proponent for both technologies.
My Sessions;
I have given this talk a few times in different places yet it still manages to change somewhat - with both the speed at which things are happening in the MonoTouch world, new apps being created, new terms of service being forced upon developers and new operating systems being released. The slides for this session will be added soon and the video being found in the title above.
Slides coming soon.
Unfortunately, "Deep Dive" might have been slightly the wrong name for the session but I wanted to use it as a way of demonstrating the possibilities available for use on the iPhone with MonoTouch, what the community has done for MonoTouch and useful examples of re-using existing code in your projects. Again, the video for the session is in the link above with slides following underneath as well as a zip of the projects used in my session.
Slides coming soon.

Again, I just wanted to say thank you to Anders, Rune, Henriette and everyone else involved with the conference, it was truly fantastic!
Hope to be back next year... who knows?
