My first UGIdotNET workshop!
On September, 17th I've attended my first UGIdotNET workshop, hosted by Microsoft Italia.
It was a very interesting day, with a lot of interesting talks:
- The Agile Way (Marco Abis) - it was an interesting introduction to the Agile Movement and the Agile Manifesto, along with a brief description of some of the Agile methodologies, and in particular eXtreme Programming
- eXtreme .NET (by Omid Ehsani) - how to apply eXtreme Programming practices in .NET, and in particular the use of NUnit 2.x to do the unit testing
- Creating new datatypes in C#: Nullable Types (by Luca Minudel) - how to create new datatypes in C#, and in particular how the Nullable Types were created
- How to handle the serial port under .NET (by Corrado Cavalli) - it started as a presentation on his great serial port class for .NET, but ended as a very nice talk about P/Invoke
- Creating a Visual Studio .NET Add-In (by Pierre Greborio) - how to create a strongly typed collection generator add-in for VS.NET, using the add-in wizard and especially the CodeDOM
It was a very nice day, I met a lot of interesting people and had a very great time.
