DevLink 2009 – Nashville
I’ve enjoyed and benefitted from DevLink (Twitter) 2009 on my first trip. It’s an intensive set of presentations by developers and it’s aimed at developers. It’s $75 and it’s code-on-the-screen; you’ll see what the speaker is talking about while he/she works through the topic.   There are tons of speakers from the INETA conference circuit so often you’ll get to hear straight from authors you’ve read (if you read about IT).
This years topics covered functional programming (F#, Haskell, etc.), LINQ, WPF, WCF, Design Patterns among several one-off presentations.
There was a mixer at the Nashville Sounds baseball game Friday night and several giveaways.
It’s probably the best learning opportunity for the money that I’ve had the pleasure to attend. I’m looking forward to next year already.
