ITDevCon 2010

ITDevCon has finished almost a 24 hours ago but I was simply too tired to write anything about it until now. In short – great event!

There was close to 50 participants and sessions were in most cases nicely filled up. Three tracks were running in parallel and sometimes it was quite hard to choose the most interesting session. I was quite sad as I was not able to see any of Alexander Alexeev’s sessions on debugging (the first one overlapped with my own session and in the second case seeing Ray Konopka speaking of user interface design trumped all other options). Besides Ray session which was definitely the best on the ITDevCon (Ray told me to say so ;) ) I have to mention Paweł’s expose on DataSnap and Thierry’s multitouch session which were both very interesting.

I was delivering three talks, one on FastMM and debugging and two on OmniThreadLibrary. Slides and source code are available on my blog (click the Presentations link on the left).

Organization was spot on (and so was the excellent Italian food :) ) – great thanks to BitTime for setting up the event!
