Start Time: 8:30 AM
Reserve your seat.
This is a one-day, FREE event designed to improve your software
development skills. Rather than focusing on introductions to
new technologies or tools, this conference will help you get better
at your craft. The morning sessions will focus on fundamental
principles, patterns, and practices of software development, and
the afternoon will be spent on practical exercises that put these
fundamentals into action. While the sessions will mostly make
use of .NET and Visual Studio, these topics apply to any language
or platform.

If possible, bring your own laptop for use in the hands on
sessions, with your choice of development and testing tools
installed. We will have prepared material for Visual Studio
2008/2010 and C#, but other environments are welcome. If you
cannot bring a laptop, don't worry - we'll be pairing together so
as long as half the attendees have laptops, it will be fine.
This event is being modelled after last year's SWE101 event and
other recent successful events in
Columbus and
Nashville, and is being organized by NimblePros and HudsonSC.
