Another Code Camp is being organised for Christchurch (see details below).  I'm taking a back seat this year with the organisation but I will be presenting a session or two.  I'm thinking:

100% Pure Javascript - All script and no controls

This session will demonstrate how to create a rich client application using javascript that uses an ASP.Net application for server side functionality - without using any (or at least very few) ASP.Net server controls. I guess you could call this hand-crafted AJAX.

Whats it all about, TFS?

Team System and Team Foundation Server are not particularly well understood.  In this short session I will attempt to explain (and possibly demonstrate) how the features of Team System impact & benefit developers and the project life cycle on a day to day basis.

Date: Saturday 1st November, Christchurch.  9am - 6pm
Location: Trimble Navigation, 11 Birmingham Drive (map)
Cost: Free! (Lunch provided)

Theme:  Keeping It Real
The sessions are designed to showcase .NET related tools and techniques that will be useful to you as a developer, focusing on real-world topics that will be of immediate use.

Featuring mostly local presenters it's a time to talk and socialise and connect with others in the local community. An optional dinner in the evening is an ideal way to finish the day (the great restaurant last year is still being talked about!)

Speakers:  Looking at getting into speaking?  Email christchurch@dot.net.nz to register your interest. It's a great opportunity to give a talk on anything .NET related.  We have plenty of options

• 5mins (Lightning) - Powerpoint only (no live code).  Aim at getting a single point across - demonstrating a product, feature, tip, technique etc.  These sessions are a hit with audiences at other DNUG groups and code camps - fun and lightweight!
• 15mins (Thunder) - Enough time to show a single concept or demo without getting into too much detail.  eg Interesting practical code, fun side projects, favourite dev tool/trick , LINQ to XML example etc
• 30mins, 60mins - Useful for when you have something larger to demonstrate or feel really passionate about and need to spread the word!
