MSDN Session: VB vs. C#

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

I had a lot of fun when Warren Yu and I presented a rare dual-session in the showdown between VB and C# developers - whilst showing them the newest language features in the upcoming versions of the languages Visual Basic 10 and C# 4.0. The heated discussion (aided by some San Miguel Beer) afterwards was the most passionate we've heard from members of the audience, and their lively participation only means that we're going to do this again!

Here are some of the pictures from the event:

We want to thank new Microsoft DPE Dale Jose for all that booze (and the idea for the event, actually :P )

I again thank all the awesome audience who came, spoke their mind and helped us make this event truly awesome! Thanks!

Introduction to Test Driven Development Slides and Code

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

I did a talk introducing students to Test Driven Development last Saturday, October 17, 2009. This is basically same as the TDD Revisited slides, refined slightly taking into account the student audience.

Last Saturday's talk was part of the IT Probe 2009 event held at Adamson University in Manila, by the Junior Philippine Computer Society.

I'd like to thank the officers and members of the Junior Philippine Computer Society of Adamson University for inviting me over.

Twitter, Facebook and other Social Network APIs on ASP.NET at UST

Monday, October 19th, 2009

I reduxed my talk on Social Network APIs for UST students last August 29. Just wanna share the pics on this one:

There were over a hundred (something like 130) students that attended this talk. Hopefully I didn't bore all of them to sleep :P

Thanks to the UST ICS Dept. Section A of the College of Engineering for inviting me. :)
