I'm going to be speaking on short notice at the Hawaii .NET User Group on Tuesday, February 21^st. Yeah I know a bunch of speakers are now asking, 'How do I get that gig?'. Well, but it's only a short island hop for me, so for me this is more like going to the 'big city' rather than going on vacation. OTOH, it's not a heck of a lot cheaper to hop from Maui to Oahu than a mainland trip – ah, the power of the free market economy. <g>

Anyway, on request I'm doing a lighter topic than usual:

Building a reusable ASP.NET Toolbox

Rick Strahl

This session demonstrates some re-usable tools, classes and components that I find myself integrating into my own Web Application. Every application needs a core set of features, like managing configuration settings, handling and reporting errors consistently, logging requests, providing application status information, displaying consistent error and information message pages, managing application cookies consistently and more. In this session I'll demonstrate a handful of useful utility classes and processes that accomplish these tasks in a reusable fashion and show how they work under the covers.

Level: Introduction to Intermediate

Type: Mostly hands on

Haven't done this session in quite some time, but it essentially talks about implementing a core set of utilities that make are the core infrastructure of any ASP.NET application for me. Most of these tools are homegrown and I'll talk about the implementation and little tips and tricks of the ASP.NET architecture. It's a fun session for me to do…

Looking forward to it. If you're in Honolulu next Tuesday (<g>) come by and check it out.
