I will be speaking at my 15th Software Developers Conference in the Netherlands on October 25th and 26th. For some reason the Dutch keep asking me to come back, even though I make fun of the Dutch pretty much full time. The SDC is special for me; the very first international conference that I ever spoke at was the SDC in 1998. I have been back every year (except 2000) and even did a few of the smaller one day conferences. Over the years I have done some crazy things, including showing up for my session after just coming back from the Red Light District in Amsterdam. (Hey what happens in Amsterdam, stays in Amsterdam…) Richard Campbell and I once did a session called “Mid-evening Technical session with Beer.” The abstract said “Bring beer and hear Richard and Steve talk about the latest technology.”

This year I will be doing a Scrum v Kanban v XP v Whatever smack down that will really be a Q&A lead by Remi, Joel, and me. I will also be doing a RIA Services 101 talk, no slides, just demos.  If you are in Europe this fall, swing by.
