• Europe tour - last stage in the works

  I left Portoroz and Slovenia yesterday, to travel on to Den Haag for DevDays Netherlands 2009. Slovenia was great - my sessions all went very well, and I also met a lot of DevExpress customers. In fact, Slovenia seems to be quite crazy about DevExpress, and there were many people there who congratulated me on our behalf for the quality of our controls, tools and support. They also use everything we do - web, client, WinForms, WPF, Silverlight, XPO, CodeRush - everything. Most amazing for such a small country. Thank you very much to everybody I met there, I had a great time!     As you can see from the picture above, DevDays is all about empowering your brain. For a start I've been trying to help empowering other people's brains today by doing my introduction to F#. This went very good - two more sessions to do tomorrow. If you're here in Den Haag and you see me somewhere, please say hi! Okay, now back to more customer talk :-) Posted May 28 2009, 12:45 PM by Oliver Sturm (DevExpress) with no comments

• Guest lecture in Graz: done - coming up: NT konferenca in Slovenia

  I'm now in Portoroz in Slovenia for NT konferenca. The lecture in Graz went well - thanks to everybody for coming, and if you want to check out the slides and samples for yourself, you can find them here. I also met a few customers there and talked to them about our products - good feedback, as usual! Now this conference in Slovenia is great, and it hasn't even started yet! The location is right on the seaside, with an elevator in the hotel that goes right down to the beach. More conference locations should be like this! ;-) The main keynote is running right around now, and I'm skipping it because of the state of my Slovenian... (non-existent is what that is). After lunch I'll be at our little DevExpress booth here and hopefully have some conversations with customers or those that should be customers and don't know it yet <g>. My own sessions are tomorrow and Wednesday, so I've got time today - if you're here, make sure to stop by and say hi! Posted May 25 2009, 10:20 AM by Oliver Sturm (DevExpress) with 1 comment(s)

• European roundtrip coming up

  I’m leaving tomorrow for a little roundtrip: First, on Friday, I’m doing a guest lecture about Functional Programming in C# at Campus 02 in Graz, Austria. From there I’m moving on to Slovenia (on Saturday, May 23rd), for NT Konferenca 2009. I’ll be doing two sessions there, on C# as well as F#. I’m also exhibiting there for DevExpress – but of course, DevExpress related questions and conversations are always welcome anyway! Finally I’ll be in The Hague from Wednesday 27th, for DevDays 2009. Three more sessions to do there, again on C# and F#. If you find me in any of these places, please say hi! I'll be looking out for interesting people to interview for my Sod This podcast - no connection to DevExpress, but I thought I'd mention it anyway <g>. Watch this space for reports about my trip. I'm sure it'll be interesting! Posted May 20 2009, 05:41 PM by Oliver Sturm (DevExpress) with 5 comment(s)
