DevDays Durban Slides and Bits
Published on Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
I had a great time in Durban this week presenting at the DevDays event. I was a bit nervous for my first keynote, but calmed down once I was up there. I was much less nervous for the sessions, and they turned out to be great fun.
Knowing is half the battle
As part of my prep, I fully scripted the demos, and those scripts are included in hidden slides in the slide shows—so if you're looking to recreate the demos, please download the slides and have a look.
For both my sessions, I made use of the excellent (but I’m biased) Rule 18 tool. So if you're looking for the actual code—which I referred to in my scripts with Rule 18 key presses—you should really download that too.
All the demos were done using Visual Studio 2010.
