Memory Leaks in Stavanger, Norway

On Thursday 7th of November I’m having a lecture about Memory Leaks in .Net at NNUG in Stavanger. In addition to memory leaks Per-Ove Joakimsen (from WebStep and leader of NNUG in Stavanger) is talking about his experience at TechEd in Barcelona. He’s also doing a short intro to WPF, WCF and LINQ. Go to http://www.nnug.no/Avdelinger/Stavanger/Moter/Brukergruppemote-desember-2006/ to register for the event.

If you don’t live in Stavanger but another city in Norway and are interested in .Net, don’t forget to register at http://www.nnug.no/Profil/RegistrerDeg/ and you will be updated on NNUG happenings in your city. As of now we have NNUG in Bergen, Kristiansand, Oslo, Stavanger, Tromsø, Trondheim and Vestfold. For those of you who don’t know about NNUG, it is an independent INETA .Net usergroup. These usergroups exist all over the world, so if you live outside of Norway, look it up and you probably find a user group near you. If not you can start one!

about me!

Hi, I'm Jon Arild Tørresdal. I’m an Architect for the Norwegian insurance company Frende Forsikring, chapter Lead of Norwegian .Net User Group (NNUG) in Bergen and .NET editor for InfoQ. I've been coding professionally since 1998 and on .NET since 1999. I'm an early adapter always looking for new ways to put technology to use for the company I work for, at NNUG or just as an excuse to do some coding at home.

I’m a great fan of Agile practices like XP, Scrum, Kanban and Lean. My first experience with Agile was in 2006, when I introduced Scrum to CMA Contiki (my former employer), which was a great success. Later I found the lack of engineering practices in Scrum pulled me closer to Extreme Programming. I’m constantly trying to motivate developers, testers and other agile team members to adapt the Agile way of thinking to improve the overall quality of software delivery. My motivation for studying these practices is to constantly improve the way I and others work in my organization; both by having fun and adding value to our customers.

I’m also a speaker, focusing on engineering practices (clean code), Agile and best practices (often represented in forms of patterns). At work I often find myself doing presentations on technologies we're about to adapt or how to improve our agile process.

Except from work I am married to my beautiful wife, Gry Helene and we live together with our son Jesper. I love good food and wine, especially red wine from northern Italy. I'm trying to start a collection without any great luck so far :-)

Hope you enjoy my blog!
