Tech Ed Day 1 - Hanselman Stops By

Man I would love US$99 to be €5, I'd be living in the US right now but keep my € wage !!  :p

Thanks for the ...

>>> ... spec out the beginnings of a killer application that models Scottish lads drinking at a pub. I implement the IDrink and IVomit interfaces per their spec, and then go on to implement the Pub class.

I'm having "one" of those days, but that really made me laugh!

Don't worry they have started printing all denominations with an extra 0.  They said it was easy to due.

Being a "Scottish lad that drinks at the pub" (and a tad bored at work this morning), I believe their are a couple of basic problems with the spec.

For a start we clearly need the IScotsman actor here. As everyone knows the world (and this code example clearly revolves around us IScotsman).

IDrink should clearly be called IBevie

We are missing interfaces for IFight, IPish, ILoveYou ...

The list could go on. In the efforts of furthering research into this complicated matter ( and relieving the tedium of financial software development ) my colleague and I have decided to hop onto codeplex and create a project to dig further into this.

Will try to get something uploaded quickly later just so I can publish the thing. We will probably be happy to accept contributions from all , probably even from those that come from south of the border.

A french colleague has kindly "volunteered" to implement some interfaces to model the reactions of outside observers to the drinking.

Oh and I just watched the video - some proxy tweaking at work required. Carnoustie eh ? I spent a lot of time around that area as I got my pilot's licence at Dundee airport.

I was at that session. It was a riot. Scott showed off his refactoring skills using Refactor Pro to enable the code to throw Up(); in the case of too many drinks. Mark Miller as always was jolted with energy. What was in that guy's drink?!?!
