Two more speaking engagements in November

SQL Saturday #53 – New York, New York – November 20th – 9am

 

I just wanted to remind my fans (both of them) that I’ll be speaking at two more events this month.  First off is this Saturday the 20th in the Big Apple.  I’ll be covering SQL Azure to the attendees of SQL Saturday 53.  I’m first up, at 9am.  I’ll be covering the reasons why to use SQL Azure, reasons why not to use SQL Azure and how to use SQL Azure.  I’m also showing attendees how to do a little reporting on Windows Azure before SQL Azure Reporting comes out in CTP.  I think it’s a good thing to cover.

 

Evansville .NET Users Group – Evansville, Indiana – November 30th – 11:30am

 

The great guys down in Evansville asked me to come cover ASP.NET MVC.  Since I’ve been using it in production almost since its inception, I jumped at the chance to share.  I’ll be covering the basics and then I’ll jump into MVC 3 RC.  There is a lot of great stuff that used to be in MVC Contrib that is now built in.  The new way to change view engines is awesome.  I’ll also cover how to port over some of that special code that only seems to work with viewstate enabled, like the Report Viewer control.

JavaScript should be your favorite language

So you think you're really cool because you're hardcore and know everything there is about PHP or C# or C++ or VB or Perl or Ruby or Python or ColdFusion or Java or ActionScript or..  I should stop right?  The thing is, as developers we've been coding in all these other languages to fit the phone, desktop, server and platform we think is best.  But we were wrong.  There is no "best" or "favorite" platform.  We shouldn't have been writing Flash apps.  We shouldn't have been writing Silverlight or Windows or Mono or XNA or Java apps.  We should have been writing HTML5 apps this whole time.  Don't get me wrong.  I don't thing that the debate of standards based apps vs native apps is over.  I think it's going to go nuclear.  Soon their will be iOS , Windows , Ubuntu , Chrome , Android , Blackberry , Firefox OS , and more to come.  They (I assume) will all probably be a little different but there will be ways to write in just HTM...

Why I won't be registering as a blogger in the state of Florida.

This blog post is about Ron DeSantis. Why am I writing about Ron DeSantis? Did he create a new JavaScript framework? No. Did I move to Florida? Nope. Did Mr. DeSantis contact me about my blog? No.  Does anyone at the Republican party in Florida know that I exist? Absolutely not. I'm writing about Ron DeSantis because he and his party in Florida are working to pass a law requiring me to register my blog with them. I'm disseminating this information to you in possible violation of a law written 1000 miles away. At the discretion of some official in Florida they may decide that I owe them money and fine me for not registering with that official. I also must tell them how much money I make off my blog post. It's just pennies by the way. https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2023/1316  This proposed law is as stupid as the book bans. Just like the banned books, nobody is being forced to read this blog. A person has to seek this blog out. You don't have to finish reading a bo...

Cool new stream about F# from LaylaCodesIt

Image
There was a cool new series about F# on Twitch today.  It was fun to see and I haven't used F# in a long time. I felt like it was my first time while watching the stream. https://www.twitch.tv/laylacodesit  Here is my code inspired by Layla and Alyssa. https://gist.github.com/trendoid/ad4c5f3b58fc09c6a0ee472a0fd869d6 or if you want the whole project... https://github.com/trendoid/FsharpConsoleApp It just reads from a text file and prints the contents out to the console. // For more information see https://aka.ms/fsharp-console-apps printfn "Console App: Started!" open System.IO let baseDirectory = __SOURCE_DIRECTORY__ let filePath = "Text.txt" let fullPath = Path.Combine(baseDirectory, filePath) let readFilesTask (path1) =   task {     let! content = File.ReadAllTextAsync(path1)     return content   } printfn "Content: %s" (readFilesTask(fullPath).Result)
