Next week I will be speaking at the 4th Great Indian Developer Summit (GIDS) in Bangalore, India. I have spoken at the last three GIDS and really enjoy the “ninja” speaking style: 50 minute sessions! So my technical sessions will be all code/demo, no slides, only the “please fill out the evaluation” slide at the end. Here are my sessions:

Tuesday April 19th, .NET day:

• Building RESTful Applications with the Open Data Protocol (no slides!)
• Agile Estimation (ok, slides for this one)
• Enhancing Developer Productivity across the Entire Stack (Telerik vendor session, NO SLIDES, no marketing, just code!)

Wednesday April 20th, Web day:

• Introduction to WCF RIA Services for Silverlight 4 Developers (no slides!)

Friday April 22nd, Seminar day:

• The Agile Buffet Table (with Joel) Ok, this session will have slides, but last year it was standing room only, we got in trouble with a fire hazard, so get there early.

Visit Telerik, get free goodies, win stuff and come to our party!

GIDS is four years old and Telerik has been at each and every GIDS since its inception. On .NET day (Tuesday), we are handing out some great free goodies at our booth, so make sure you stop by before the keynotes before it gets mobbed. (Last year our Tee shirts were in such demand, the booth got knocked over in a rush!) Also look in your conference bag for some other great goodies.

We have some great prizes, but another reason to come visit our booth is that in partnership with Pluralsight, we are throwing a great party on Tuesday night. (If you went to our party last year, you know what I am talking about!) Swing by our booth for a demo, some goodies, and tickets to our party. Space is limited, so come by early!!!

See you in Bangalore. Bring your umbrella, hopefully the monsoon is not as bad as last year.
