Caffeinated Coder

Yesterday I was lucky enough to grab one of the coveted spots for the upcoming ALT.NET Conference in Austin, Texas this October. The registration was capped at one hundred participants and appears to have filled up within the first few days of being announced. The organizers include several of my favorite bloggers (Ayende Rahien, Scott Bellware, Jeremy Miller, and Roy Osherove), so I am very excited about the opportunity to meet them and hear their thoughts on several issues that have caught my attention lately such as Domain-Specific Languages, Dynamic Languages, Behavior Driven Development, and Domain Driven Design. It’s my first Open Spaces conference, which means that the agenda will be decided upon by the conference participants during the opening session.

In honor of the event, here is a list of some of my favorite posts by the conference organizers from the last few months. Enjoy.
