Microsoft is arranging a asp.net focused event, Dev Days 2006, in Stockholm december 5th. I have agreed to talk about databinding in ASP.NET 2.0. Tobias Fjälling will be talking about AJAX. There is little info on the site, and no abstracts, but Johan Lindfors has put up the info on his blog, here, among other posts. Note that neither me, nor Tobias are cornerstone employees - despite what Johans post may indicate.
If you're doing ASP.NET development, come check it out - it's an inexpensive event, and there will be lots to choose from.
The 2007 edition of the Software Practice Advancement conference is held in Cambridge. I will be giving a session in the form of a short workshop exploring testability, encapsulation and how they relate to each other. The idea is that the topic will serve as the starting point for a short collaborative exploration of these concepts, and we will all leave with a clearer understanding of them.
Check out the awesome programme here, and details of my session here. The conference is actually very inexpensive, and whereever you are in Europe, catching a flight to the UK is dirt cheap nowadays - so give it some consideration. The lineup includes names like Dave Thomas (of pragmatic programmers fame), Michael Feathers, Tony Hoare, Brian Marick (brilliant test specialist, known to go out of his way to give non-planning swedes rides to airports), Kevlin Henney, and a host of others.
