Yesterday I did a session on Refactor! at the London .NET User Group, the same talk I submitted for DDD day 3.  Everything went well and I think people really liked the product. I’d like to thank the group for having me as a speaker, even though my presentation was mostly focused on a specific product. Ian asked me to definitely come back and do another talk sometime, so I guess it’s going to happen.

Were you there? Did you like it? Did you think it was horrible? Please feel free to leave comments!

I have recently published a few more XPO related posts on the new Developer Express community site. Previously I have sometimes posted XPO stuff on this blog, and these posts are now all eaten up by the DX site – so I thought I’d let you know if you’re watching this space and not the DX community site.

Here are the posts I wrote:

• Session Management and Caching
• My persistent classes are real classes – or not?
• Relations and custom collections
• Advanced queries
• XPO is good for distributed applications

I recommend watching at least the XPO related blog if you are interested in this, as I can’t promise I’ll always find the time to notify readers of this blog about posts in the other. The main page of the XPO blog is here, and there are links available for RSS and Atom aggregation.
