Under the hood and working with .Net, TDD, Software Design, and Agile Stuff
To everybody that attended one of my talks at DevTeach this week. All of the materials are now online for download at the DevTeach website. If there's something else you find missing or just want to find, please drop a comment and I'll post more links. I'll write a longer writeup after I get home over the weekend, but in the meantime I'd like to thank everybody that attended my talks this week. I got a tremendous reception from the audience and I loved the stream of questions and conversations during the talks. Some speakers want just to tell you things, but I do a lot better speaking in informal talks where the audience is participating and DevTeach has been great for that.

Put that Wizard Down! (Patterns for Maintainable WinForms)
It's not entirely a done deal yet, but it looks increasingly likely that I will be writing a book next year on design patterns for smart/desktop/composite applications along the lines of Martin's duplex book idea. The following is basically the proto-book. Look for more content by the end of the year.
