  • A Night Of Ajax In Ohio (Akron-Cleveland Area) In October

    Dave Balzer (of DevAuthority fame) and I have been talking about my trips to Ohio once a month, and how I have been itching to speak (and would really love to speak in the State of my birth).  We need to plan far in advance so that Dave can get a place lined up.  He (not me) probably should put some kind of sign up form so we know how many to expect.  Do we have anything together?  Well, actually I do know what I'm going to do my talk on.  I'm going to do a somewhat informal talk which involve my into...

  • Tampa Code Camp ".NET as an Alternative to JS in the Browser" Slides and Demos...

    Ok, I'm finally posting my slides and demos from my Silverlight and Script# talk at the Tampa Code Camp this past July.  Since Silverlight 1.1 Alpha Refresh just came out (and so did VS 2008 Beta 2), I went ahead and updated my Silverlight demos to use latest bits...
