I spoke at the Fairfield / Westchester Code Camp yesterday in Stamford, Connecticut. The turnout was great and the facility, the University of Connecticut Business and IT campus, was amazing.

I spoke on LINQ to SQL, the new ORM technology from Microsoft. The presentation resulted in a good discussion about the architectural considerations of using such a tool, and I bailed on a few examples I had prepared to give time for all the Q & A.

Feel free to download my sample code and slides. The code is in C# 3.5 and runs in VS 2008 Beta 2.

Dang, I work in Stamford. If I’d known I would have gone.

[…] But of the three options public speaking certainly has the lowest barrier to entry, especially in the .NET community where there are frequent local events that welcome new speakers. So 6 months ago I dipped my toe into the water and participated in my first speaking engagement. […]
