It was the last session on the last day of TechDays 2012 so I was expecting almost nobody to show up. Still, a packed room came to have a look at how to make the web realtime using SignalR. Thanks for joining and for being very cooperative during the d…

I wish to thank everyone who has been voring for getting me in Vegas, speaking at MIX11. Without having expectations, I was really really surprised (and happy!) my session got selected. Thanks a bunch! Oh and thanks, RealDolmen, for supporting me in…
I have asked it last year, and I’ll ask it again. One of my session proposals made it to the “short”list for MIX11. One thing left though: votes are the only currency to get my session proposal in Vegas. Here’s the session abstract: Fun wi…
Last week, I had the pleasure of presenting at DevConnections at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, NV. I had a total blast interacting with attendees, fellow speakers and checking out the vendor hall. The logistics for the conference were remarkable given…
Recently my good friend and fellow C4MVC junkie, Eric Hexter blogged about an event the ASP.NET MVC community is putting together called, MvcConf.
MvcConf is a online conference where you can learn about real experiences creating MVC applications as well about what the future holds for creating asp.net apps based on MVC. We have scheduled community members to present on intro and advanced topics using MVC2 and we have some Microsoft product members who will talk about some of the new stuff coming out soon.
If you’re interested in learning more about development with ASP.NET MVC, why not attend a free event (or session) that will aide that cause? Not only do we have community leaders on MVC but also members of the ASP.NET team, including the one and only PM for the product, Mr. Phil Haack!
You really have nothing to lose with this conference, well, except for some bandwidth since this conference is virtual and broadcast through Live Meeting. 
So come on, check us out. Here’s the information that you’ll need:
When: Thursday, July 22 8AM – 5PM CDT
Cost: FREE
Where: Virtual (Live Meeting)
Register here: http://mvcconf.com/attend
We’re still working through the final sessions, so the schedule will be posted in a few days. Please bare with us as we coordinate these logistics 
I’ll see you at MvcConf 2010!
Happy Coding!
Everybody knows the Microsoft MIX event, right? The one in Las Vegas? The one with all the fancy web-related stuff? Rings a bell? Ok, great. In the beginning of December 2009, Microsoft did an open call for speakers, which I answered with some session proposals. Who doesn’t want to go to Vegas, right?
The open call proposals have been processed (150+ sessions submitted, wow!) and a voting has started. Yes, you hear me coming: please go ahead and vote for a session I submitted. Voting ends January 15th, 2010.
Since I could not decide which color of the voting banner matched best with my blog’s theme, I decided to put them all three online:
Thanks in advance!

PS: There’s also Elijah Manor, Justin Etheredge, K. Scott Allen, and many others who submitted good looking sessions.
On September 29, I did a session on ASP.NET MVC at Remix 2009 Belgium. All session recordings are now online, check the Remix09 site. Slides and code for my talk can be found in a previous blog post. The video material can be found below. Enjoy! And feel free to leave some comments!
Abstract: "Building a Twitter clone in 60 minutes, featuring what’s new in ASP.NET MVC 2 preview 1 and focusing on some of the core ASP.NET MVC features like security and routing."
As promised during the session at Remix 2009, here’s my example code and slide deck.
