Wondering where I'll be spoutin' code and chugging beers for the holidays?  Around town -- of course, at the Tampa Code Camp and MSDN Developer Conference. 

December 6 - Going from Model to Application with VSTS and ADO.Net Entity Framework (Tampa Code Camp)

December 11 - "Rosario": A Sprint with the next version of Microsoft Visual Studio Team System.

The Tampa Code Camp is free (sponsor supported) but the MSDN Developer Conference will set you back an easy $99.  I highly recommend the show, as it will be a nice replay of many of the topics we saw (and I blogged about) during PDC.  Here's a blurb from the MDC web site:

If you've been reading my rants, raves or tips and tricks on this blog and want to meet up in person and let me know how far gone I really am, October will present a few opportunities to do so.

• October 11, I'll be at Tallahassee Code Camp.  I'm staying the weekend so if you're planning to attend any of the after hour events I'll see you there!
• October 16, I'll be presenting at the Orlando .NET User's Group on Team Foundation Server 2008.  This presentation will mostly focus on a feature walk-through as well as the awesome PM and guidance capabilities of TFS 2008!
• October 21, I'll be co-presenting with Nikita Polyakov at the Agile Tampa Group on Continuous Integration with Team Foundation Server 2008.
• October 25, I'll be speaking at Orlando SQL Saturday on LINQ to SQL.  I did this presentation at Orlando Code Camp 2008 in March and it was an incredible hit.  If you missed the show then, there's lots of great speakers at the SQL Saturday event!
• October 27-30, I'll be attending Microsoft PDC.  If you're attending and want to meet up, let me know!

Looks like it'll be a busy month -- how exciting!

I can't even begin to express how excited I am about attending ]inbetween[, an all-wekeend geek-mania going on at the Orlando Convention Center June 7-8.  If you're going to TechEd then you owe it to yourself to splurge on 2 extra days of geekdom.  If you're not, come out to Orlando and meet me and a room full of people smarter than me :)
