Posted by jpluimers on 2009/05/15

Masoud Kamali just notified that 2 of my sessions got accepted for the German BASTA! 2009 – .NET Everywhere! conference that is being held from September 21 til 25 in the Rheingoldhalle (which is in Mainz right in between the river Rhine and the city centre).

These are the sessions I’m going to do:

  • WPF multi-media: smart client with audio, photos and video 
  • .NET gems – small pieces of code that make your day

It’s gonna be fun!

Conferences, seminars and other public appearances « The Wiert Corner

Posted by jpluimers on 2009/04/26

On request, I have started to maintain a page about the events I have spoken at or will be speaking at.

The page serves as a central landing spot for people wanting to download materials of past appearances, or wanting to meet me in person on future appearances.

Currently, it contains

I will extend it with more downloads and more events over time (and blog about it when it gets extended).

Drop me a message at the contact form when you need more of the past downloads (I have been speaking at conferencs since 1995, so there is quite a lot of material <g>)

Who is coming to DelphiLive? « Daniel Magin’s Weblog

Posted by jpluimers on 2009/04/24

My German colleague Daniel Magin is keeping track of people going to attend or speak at DelphiLive ’09.

Please leave a comment on his blog posting to help him assembling the list.

I’ll be arriving on the evening of  tuesday, May 12th, and leave in the morning of sunday May 17th (in order to keep the flight costs down, it is wise to include a Saturday/Sunday night stay).

Spoken @ CodeRage III, December 1-5, 2008 on Delphi, database and XML related topics

Posted by jpluimers on 2009/04/24

At the CodeRage III on-line virtual conference, I have done 4 sessions. CodeRage III logo
For me, it was the first time speaking at conference done this way.
A few things were different:

  • Sessions were 45 minutes presenting in stead of the normal 60 minutes
  • The main body of the session was pre-recorded, the 15 minute Q&A was live
  • I had to learn Camtasia
  • The broadcasts were done through LiveMeeting

Speaking @ Microsoft DevDays ’09, May 28-29, The Hague

Posted by jpluimers on 2009/04/21

DevDays '09 logo

I’ll be speaking during the Microsoft DevDays ‘09 that are held from May 28-29 (27 if you count the preconference) in The Hague (at the World Forum, previously known as Nederlands Congres Centrum).

My session is in the “Geek Night” track that is held on the evening of May 28.

It is gonna be a cool session, showing collaboration on many levels:

  • as in integration between .NET and hardware (WebCams and Servos through USB)
  • as cooperation between you and Open Source projects
  • as building your own shooter device from plexiglass and other easy to obtain hardware
  • as interaction between users and the automated shooter device

The session works towards the creation of an automated shooter device.
It consists of a USB webcam of which you monitor the video stream, a USB Servo Controller that steers Servos and relais, and a laserpointer.
The laserpointer can track moving objects (like you, the audience!) as seen through the  webcam.

During the session you see the pro’s and con’s of using Open Source, what can go wrong when using multiple-web-cams, and much much more.

Prepare for a fun night!

I’ll be speaking during DelphiLive ’09 that is held from May 13-16 in San Jose (CA, USA, not any of the other San Jose cities).

This is going to be a top event with really knowledgeable Delphi speakers from all over the world.
Besides the 2 sessions that I’m doing, I’ll be hanging around as are the other speakers.

So feel free to approach us, and learn from the things we learned. Or teach us something new: all of us are eager to learn as well as teach!

The downloads are now available.
