Quick Start: EPiServer 7.5 & mvc - the minified version

What is EPiServer and what does EPiServer 7.5 do? 

I (think) that I have aswered those questions during lunch hour today here at Knowit in Stockholm. 

This video - in swedish - is a minified version of my talk & live coding about the CMS, using asp.net mvc to demo how page types, properties, editor features and pages are wired together (without complicating things too much).

Love letter to the Community

Almost two weeks ago dotNetConf took place, right here at the Internet. Sessions were broadcasted live and published on Youtube. It was a two day conference, with a total of 17 different sessions and speakers from at least three continents and a whole lot of different time zones.

The broadcasts were about 45 minutes long with ten minute breaks between the sessions. Everything was recorded with high quality video and audio that made it possible for everyone to follow the sessions in full screen mode. To be able to arrange a conference like this you would need great Infrastructure, sponsors with a lot of cash and a huge team. Right? 

Yes, no and no. Yes, dotNetConf had really good Infrastructure. But no sponsors and a very small team.

- How's that possible?

I think dotNetConf is really about Passion. And Fun. And Free. People passionate about what they do. Coding at work, coding after work, coding talks, coding in thoughts (coding in sleep?). People who want to learn new and cool stuff, share insights and all of this because it is fun! People who love what they do and they'll even do it for free.

- Dude, nothing's for free.

Okay, the guys that arranged dotNetConf most likey has spent a huge amount of their own time making this happen. And about $10 (!) for hosting the web site on Azure. With passion, time and $10 you can create a space where 2.400 people join live talks, demos and chat rooms. I think that is amazing.

Thousands of people from all over the world registered to the event. A couple of weeks later there is now a long tail of daily page views at the dotNetConf Youtube channel. As being one of the speakers I am stunned by the positive feedback I've got after my session. Thank you!

Here's the recording from my session Rediscover JavaScript. Please contact me if you have any questions or feedback about the presentation.

If you like the presentation style and level, you might be interested in checking out the video Quick Start: Test Driven Development from aspConf 2012.

aspConf 2012

It's about two weeks since aspConf, the online .NET developer conference, took place. This year had thousands of registered participants and about sixty booked speakers. I feel honoured being one of the speakers of aspConf 2012.

Check out the great stuff published at Channel 9, lots of interesting talks with a wide range of subjects within the .NET developer world. Is there an easier way to learn new things than this? 

My talk Quick Start: Test Driven Development was just published. Lots of thanks to all of you that joined the session! Have a look, please give your feedback and rate the video. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about Test Driven Development!

För snart två veckor sedan kunde man följa aspConf - en utvecklarkonferens på nätet. Årets konferens hade sextio talare på schemat och flera tusen anmälda deltagare. I år var jag en av talarna och det känns stort att ha varit med på detta. På Channel 9 finns nu massvis med bra videor att kolla in, ett enkelt sätt att lära sig nya grejer!

 

Nu finns även inspelningen av min presentation Quick Start: Test Driven Development publicerad. Stort tack till er som följde den direktsända presentationen! 

Titta, ge din feedback och betygsätt gärna videon (den är strax under en timme lång). Hör av dig till mig om du har frågor om testdriven utveckling!
