On Saturday June 25th, 2011 I had the pleasure of speaking at my first Kansas City Developer Conference (KCDC) event. This is the third year that this event has been held and by all accounts it has grown ever-larger each subsequent year. This year’s event had over 230+ attendees and seemed a great success (seen [...]
Last Thursday (6/23/2011) I had the privilege of delivering my new talk, “CQRS: Crack for Architecture Addicts or an Idea Whose Time Has Come?” to the Philadelphia-area ALT.NET user group.

A big thanks to everyone who took [...]

Readers of this blog may recall that Eric Evans (author of the canonical book in the field and considered by most to be ‘the father of Domain Driven Design’) gave a presentation to the NYC DDD User Group (of which I am a regular member) several months ago.
At that time, many asked if the presentation [...]
In case you are interested in following along and couldn’t attend our recent January 2009 ALT.NET NYC user group meeting on Domain Driven Design, one of my fellow group organizers (Alex Hung) has just posted the full videos to VIMEO for general viewing.
In addition to our regular attendees, this time our group was also joined [...]
I just gave a talk at last week’s ALT.NET NYC user group introducing Domain Driven Design (DDD) as a pattern language and included in there was a slide expressing my opinion “Once: its a fluke, twice: its a coincidence, three times: its a pattern” intended to posit the idea that patterns evolve from our observations [...]
As 2008 comes to an end and 2009 starts to ramp up, I thought it might be interesting (for me at least!) to look back at some of the important events and changes in 2008 that have most impacted my professional life as a software developer.
The Year of Community
If I had to sum-up what 2008 [...]
