"Jean Paul Boodhoo - Triumphant~!" comes to Edmonton Feb 22

Feb 09

The many emotions of JP Boodhoo, part I

Yes, you read that right. Forget about the Shrine Circus, forget about Cirque Du Soleil, forget about Ice Capades; *this* is the greatest traveling show in Albertan history - and it's coming here in only two weeks time! Stunning renditions of Andrew Lloyd Webber musical hits, dancing girls, a pyrotechnic display, two caged lions, and enterprise design patterns*; this event is going to have it all. For those of you have been to the JP Boodhoo experience previously, you know what to expect, and for those of you who haven't, I refer you back to my post last April for JP's inaugural appearance at the very first EDMUG meeting. Trust me, in hindsight Mugatu and a nuclear explosion were a massive understatement in describing the awesomeness of that presentation! If you don't care about seeing JP Boodhoo, you don't care about seeing a man juggle 5 flaming knives while refactoring a class structure with Resharper. Trust me, bring your parents, bring your children...bring your parent's children!!! It will be something for the ages.

As usual, we're in the Edmonton Public Library and more details can be found on the EDMUG web site.

Two weeks!!!

TWO WEEKS!!

Am I the only one who finds the EDMUG site terribly slow (when it works at all)? I know we had some issues with the EDNW site, but at least it loaded, and loaded quickly. On EDMUG, this is pretty common:

I dunno, I'd be more impressed if JP did the refactoring without Resharper. *THAT* would add a certain element of danger to it, if you ask me.

Hey, Mack - I definitely know that this is a problem. It's something to do with the way webhost4life implements their dotnetnuke stuff - I had the same problem when I ran an experiment. Stay tuned - I think in the next month or two we'll have a better solution.

I really enjoyed JP's presentation yesterday. Very nicely done. It's good to see good OO practices spreading out to the .Net world. Also, I liked the fact that he emphasized not over-designing. Thanks for promoting the presentation!
