It's been a hectic and busy couple of weeks leading up to the Belgian Developer & IT Pro Days in Ghent last week, but it was all worth it! Steven and I had a lot of fun presenting our sessions, and it was great to meet a lot of interesting new people and to talk to some people who I hadn't seen in a while.

I know that we haven't been able to upload the final versions of the slides to the official site on time, but a lot of you have been asking for them so here they are:

Best Practices In Framework Design (1.85 MB)

Best Practices For Application Development (2.12 MB)

During this last presentation, we showed demos of Enterprise Library 2.0 and a very cool (IMHO) implementation of the Command Pattern using Enterprise Library to add some aspects such as logging and security. You can find the source for the first demo (Enterprise Library only) here:

Demo 01 - Enterprise Library.zip (1.46 MB)

Steven has posted the second demo along with the source code for the Command Pattern on his blog, so you can get that from there!

In conclusion, it was a great event that really made all the efforts of the past weeks worthwile. So a lot of thanks to the organizing team (great job Tom, David, Ritchie!) and for all that attended!

Hope to see you again next year!
