Let's hope we don't get too much snow for this weekend's (sold-out**) Code Camp III!
Thom has announced that Microsoft will conduct hands-on labs at the Microsoft Technology Center (MTC) on Saturday from 1-5. Seating is limited and you can sign up for these when you arrive at Code Camp on Saturday morning. The MTC is about a mile drive from the Jones Road offices.
He also sends word that the final agenda is ready (and probably won't change.) The session descriptions are online as well.
I wanted to have more time to see other peoples' sessions, so I've cut back from doing four at the last code camp to just two:
- “Moving to Visual Studio 2005 Team System Unit Testing” - The session will concentrate on introducing the unit testing features of Team System, pointing out how they compare and contrast with solutions available today as well as issues to plan for during migration. Experience with unit testing is not required, but is of course helpful.
- “Effective Development Practices in .NET” - This peer discussion (“chalk talk“) went so well at Code Camp II that I wanted to conduct it again. The exact topics are open, but I have a list of potential topics to get things started. Conversation revolves around the practices and tools with which people have had success (or sometimes failure!)
Looking forward to seeing you there!

** Although the Camp is “sold-out”, if you're interested, I recommend you sign up for the waitlist and show up anyway. Chances are excellent that the snow will keep a larger percentage of registrants away (at least on Saturday.)
