SoCalCodeCamp Fullerton, Jan 2009 Post Mortem

My part as a speaker in SoCalCodeCamp (www.socalcodecamp.com) is over. I did 2 talks: Application Life-Cycle Management; Why Should You Care and VSTS/TFS 2010: Things You Need To Know.

The first talk was the introduction to the APIO by Microsoft and how ALM can benefit the unified vision of development, operations and project management towards solving the business problems. The talk was very successful although I was surprised - I was expecting more resistance from the audience. The reaction was very encouraging. See the slide deck here

The second talk was more of the overview of the VSTS/TFS VPC CTP1 focused on the testing, modeling and team foundation. The slide deck was easier, bet getting the decent performance from the VPC image was very difficult. Eventually I had to cut the number and the content of the demos and resort back to the slide deck and the screen shots. Somewhat disappointing, but hopefully will fix the performance for the internal Neudesic training sessions. The slide deck is here.
