As was mentioned in this week’s Podcast, CodeRage III is coming.
Anders is currently looking for speakers.
As Anders mentioned, this is not to replace a face-to-face conference, but is only until a physical conference is scheduled. I planning on submitting a few sessions. I’ll see you all in the chat rooms!
Back in Episode 7 I neglected to publish the links to the favorite blogs of Scooter Software‘s Craig Peterson. Here they are for anyone who didn’t find them. Most of these are favorites of mine too:
I am sure Craig also frequents the Beyond Compare forums too, which have their own RSS feed.
If you still have not taken advantage of that 25% discount code on Beyond Compare 3, please listen to Episode 7 again, and get the code, or just upgrade without the code. Seriously, Beyond Compare is one of my favorite tools, and it is Jeff Atwood’s too.
Hopefully you all just got an email from Michael Swindell with the subject line “Product Update: Delphi and C++Builder Changes.” The email address it comes from is “CodeGear from Embarcadero” <e-update@email.codegear.com>. If not, then check your spam folders and furiously refresh your in-box until it shows up.
The email is a request to update your contact information (which seems like an odd request since they obviously have my email address), although I think it is just a matter of getting us to agree to a privacy policy / terms of use with the new company. I’m happy to maintain contact with CodeGear & Embarcadero, but the carrot they offer in return is a free PDF copy of Marco Cantu‘s yet to be released Delphi 2009 Handbook.
They will email the download link later. I can hardly wait. Now I just need to get an autographed hard copy. I’ll be sure to pack a copy when I go to the physical Delphi conference CodeGear is planning.
This is another one of our exciting round table discussions. This time around we discuss Conferences – Including up coming CodeGear conferences, Best Practices, Newsgroups and Forums, Generics, Exception handling, Source Control, the MVC Pattern as it relates to Delphi and great Delphi extensions.
