Agile Fragile
I’m going to indulge myself by having a nice old fashioned rant. The topic of choice is “Agile”. A few experiences and conversations of the recent past have compelled me to write something on this topic. So here goes nothing
DDD North 2011
One week after DDD Belfast, I was up in Sunderland for the first ever DDD North. The session line-up looked fantastic and it geared up to be a fantastic day.
DDD Belfast 2011
After repeated attempts to resume blogging, I think I’m pretty much determined to end my hiatus. And I’ll start off with my experience at DDD Belfast.
2011 MVP Hat Trick
Got this email today:
My CQRS Session at the Canary Wharf Dot Net User Group
About a couple of weeks ago, I presented some very basic CQRS and Event Sourcing concepts to the Canary Wharf Dot Net User Group. It was an interesting experience to say the least. About everybody there had heard of CQRS (hmmm), about a quarter knew a bit about how it works (wow) and only one guy there actually uses it (ah well). This confusing spread in the audience made it quite challenging as to which bits to focus on and what to consider “advanced”. [And I actually feel bad for the guy who uses it as he probably got zilch from the session!] With such a spread in the audience, the most effective part of any session turns out to be the Q&A part. And we had a very nice one with numerous questions – some of them turning into discussions. I’ll be blogging a bit about CQRS, Event Sourcing etc. in the coming weeks and will hopefully go into detail about some of the questions. As part of the session, I had a (purposefully) very simple demo using Ncqrs and ASP.NET MVC. It’s not a “best practices” thing but a simple app showing how simple it is to create a CQRS + Event Sourcing application with Ncqrs. (It’s also from an old build of Ncqrs – the current version would probably not work with the code but the changes required would be minimal.

Woohoo…I’m an Asp.net MVP…and a few questions for you
I was announced asp.net MVP today. It’s great to receive the award as a recognition of my activities at the asp.net forums. I hope I can continue to help people out there and that this site will grow in the process. It’s my first time receiving the award and hopefully it won’t be the last. In an attempt to hold on to it(!), I’ll ask you guys…what should I write about? What aspects of asp.net do you want me to cover? I’ll be posting some video tutorials soon. What topics do you want me to go through? Lemme know and I just might listen ;).

Top of the Mountain :)
I’ve been contributing more and more to the asp.net community recently. I had a somewhat dry spell two to three moths back. I completed my graduation in Computer Science and Engineering, moved out of the university dorms, got a new apartment, had a nightmare furnishing it; and finally got some time to sit down and get back to the community. Having a bit of free time, I wanted to make up for the lost time as much as I could. And now, it has happened. I never thought I’d actually achieve this, but I’ve somehow managed to get to the top contributor spot in the last 30 days. And here’s a nice pic to show my reward [although helping everyone is reward enough…]:
