	Devscovery 2008 - New York City April 1-3 I can't believe it is March already.  For those of you in the New York City area, Devscovery be here, April 1st-3rd, and I'll be doing 2 talks, An Introduction to LINQ to SQL, and An Introduction to LINQ to Entities.  If you haven't heard about Devscovery, here's the details right from their FAQs Devscovery is a three-day multi-track in-depth technical conference produced by Wintellect. In 2008, Infragistics is collocating its user conference expanding Devscovery from 33 sessions to 55 for the same low price of just $900. Just check out the speakers list: Andres Aguiar Jason Beres Roger Dahlman Phil Haack Scott Hanselman Dennis Hurst J. Ambrose Little Anthony Lombardo Paul Mehner Jeff Prosise Jeffrey Richter Walt Ritscher John Robbins Josh Smith Todd Snyder Not a bad little list ;)  Should be a lot of fun. The down side of the that list, my sessions are at the same time as Walt Ritscher and Jeff Prosise.  It will be hard for me to give a talk and try to sit in on their talks, too ;) Share this post: email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it! | live it!

About donxml

I’m an independent consultant, specializing in .Net solutions architecture, based out of New Jersey who also doubles as an evangelist for XML, Domain Driven Design, enterprise architecture and .Net. I do not work for Microsoft, the W3C or any other big company that you may know of (at least not yet). I’ve been an indie for over ten years, and although I’ve been tempted a couple times to take a job with companies like Microsoft, I’ve haven’t found something better than my current situation. I work mostly with the large pharmaceuticals that are based here in New Jersey, and usually find myself on long term contracts. Definitely not the prototypical indie consultant, but it lets me dedicate time to my non-income generating activities like the developer community stuff, plus financing open source projects like XPathmania and MVP-XML. If you would like to talk to me about doing some contract work, just contact me via the contact page. My rates vary widely, depending on lots of different variables, but mostly distance from Jersey, and type of work. Plus, I’ve been known to donate some of my code for various projects.
