Richmond Code Camp
I had a great time at the Richmond Code Camp this past weekend. Frank, Andy and the Virginia user group leaders did a pretty good job organizing the event. I gave three presentations, ASP.NET performance, Data Controls and URL ReWriting. The first two I have preseneted to TRINUG in the past year, so it was great to finally get to present the URLRewriting.
I enjoyed meeting many good people in our developer world in and around the Richmond area. I even got to meet Susan Googe, who is ironically from here in Raleigh. Sue gave a good presenation on Master pages and themes, which I imediately came home and applied some new techniques from.
Which leads me to the next thing, finding great resources. I shared a lot of tools, sites, etc in my presenations. I also plan on posting my files on the blog before the end of the week, but work first. So here are some links to resources I mentioned Saturday:
Matt Cutts - Google Search Engineer
Fiddler - Great Browser proxy web debugger
ViewState Decoder - Gives a great insight into the view state on your ASP.NET web pages, but I am having some difficulties with it lately.
Scott Hanselman - Great .NET blog and source of the ultimate tool list.
Of course I have several blog entries about various aspects of my presenations so please search through my blog for other great nuggets and stay tuned because I will try to post blog entries and resources each day that I come across.
