Going to a .Net devcon in 2007?

Update: PDC 07 is postponed! Check out http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/events/bb288534.aspx, which will announce the new date when it’s ready.

One of the highlights of the year for me is going to a devcon (developer conference). People I work with have asked me if I could recommend any events this year, so I wrote down the ones I knew about and googled for some others. Here’s the list I came up with:

MEDC 2007 (Berlin June 25-26 (Mobile & Embedded))

DDD5 (Reading, UK (1 day free event by the UK developer community groups) June 30)

PDC 07 (LA, USA October 2-5)

TechEd Developers Europe (Barcelona November 5-9)

International Developers Conference (Vancouver (Canada) November 26-30)

There are defiantly more events out there, but these were the ones I found in 5 minutes. Hopefully one of these events will be of interest for you. Enjoy!

about me!

Hi, I'm Jon Arild Tørresdal. I work as Architect for Frende Forsikring, a Norwegian insurance company in Bergen, Norway. I'm also chapter Lead of Norwegian .Net User Group (NNUG) in Bergen and .NET/Agile editor for InfoQ. Since 1999 I've been working on Microsoft technology, mostly .Net. 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've been focusing quite a lot on agile development. In 2006 I introduced Scrum to CMA Contiki where I worked before starting at Frende, which was a great success. Lately my focus has been to adapt more of the practices found in Extreme Programming and motivate developers, testers and other agile team members to adapt these 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've also done some tech talks. My urge to communicate my discoveries, passions and other interesting things have resulted in talks about: .Net Architecture, Scrum, WCF and ClickOnce. 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 :-)
