I'm so spoiled, spoiled, spoiled! Since our Nothin' But .NET experience last month, 3 lucky contestants including myself were issued our... "Cool Kids Club Card" from Mr. JP himself!
What I'm trying to say is that JP's taken an interest in our work and has been meeting with us as often as he can to discuss what we're currently working on. Sean calls it our "Agile Therapy".
If you're not already doing it, start your own "Agile Group Therapy" with your team where you can just discuss the up's and downs of the project (some people call it the sprint retrospective, but I think "Agile Group Therapy" is a cooler name.) I've found it super helpful to just get in touch and talk. (Why am I so touchy, feely today?)
Back to what I was saying. With our weekly discussions we get a preview of some of the events coming up in the life of JP. Without saying to much... Next year is going to be awesome! (Some might even say awesome, blossom!)
Time for a scolding...
Shame on you kids out in College Station, Texas. It's only a few weeks away and I can't believe the January boot camp hasn't sold out yet. Sure, sure it's a "fundamentals" course, but how many of us actually know the core "fundamentals" of .NET. Do you really know events, delegates, generics, app domains, threading... Do you really know it?
I surely don't... I've only started to skim the surface. This is definitely a course that I would love to attend. I'm telling you, that it's probably going to be a lot more "fundamental" then what you might think a typical .NET "fundamentals" course is all about. Shame on you, go Register!
Nothin But .NET Fundamentals Course Abstract
Nothin But .NET is expanding, and next year sounds like it's going to be an awesome year for new courses... and... *drumroll* ...new instructors!
No... no... not me... I've got a lot of growing up to do still! They're people you probably already know...
One last lesson from today's session is all about VIM.
