Speaking
Where I am speaking
SQL Saturday #17 is scheduled to take place in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on August 1 (yes, it's a Saturday :o)). I will present on the ADO.NET Entity Framework version 4 and on SQL Server 2008 FILESTREAM.
There are many other great speakers lined up, and as always, the event is free to attend. It's an excellent opportunity for learning, networking, and skipping out on the honey-do list for another week.
Hope to see you there!
If you are not familiar with a SQL Saturday, it's like a Code Camp, but focused on SQL Server.
SQL Saturday #14 is the Pensacola, Florida event for 2009. The lineup of sessions, location, and registration is available from the SQL Saturday web site at http://www.sqlsaturday.com/eventhome.aspx?eventid=18.
I will be presenting a session on the SQL Server 2008 FILESTREAM feature.
On side note, I like the concept of sqlsaturday.com: one site where all SQL Saturday events are managed from. Makes me think we need something like this for Code Camps also. It cuts down on the amount of coding each organizing committee has to do, allowing them more time to focus on the actual organization. Attendees and presenters benefit from the uniform interface.
P.S.: There is one May 30 in Birmingham, AL also. I will not be attending that event though.
From what I saw, the Atlanta Code Camp yesterday, March 14, was a success. Attendance was great, there were many sessions, and the location (Georgia Gwinnett College) is very well suited for a Code Camp.
Thank you to those who attended my sessions on the ADO.NET Entity Framework and SQL Server 2008 FILESTREAM. Unfortunately, we ran short on time in both sessions. Still, all the major points came across. The downloads from the session are available now (see below). The downloads include my PowerPoint slides, my demo scripts, start and finish code of each demo, and (where applicable) starting database.
Any follow up questions or comments are welcome.
The 2009 edition of the Atlanta Code Camp is scheduled for March 13, 2009 at Georgia Gwinnett College.
I will be presenting two sessions in the Data track: one on the Entity Framework and a second one on the FILESTREAM feature in SQL Server 2008.

The Atlanta Code Camp 2007 (http://www.atlantacodecamp.com) was another successful CodeCamp event.
I presented a session on creating a custom extender with ASP.NET AJAX RC. If you were present in Montgomery, you'll find the download from the Atlanta Code Camp useful, as it has been revised for RC (I used Beta 2 during the Montgomery CodeCamp).
The download (zip file containing demo script and code) is available
here.
