My upcoming talks for Ottawa .NET Community

To POCO or to DTO

When creating an Enterprise layered architecture, I always find the discussion about To POCO or To DTO quite interesting. Each of these serve a specific purpose, however, there is a lot of confusions & misconceptions about differentiating between these.  Stackoverflow, MS forum etc are full of questions about it. Adam Tuliper recently did a presentation for Techdays 2012 and he used a slide on same topic which provide comparison of these two in a nice way.  Image below shows that particular slide. You can watch whole session here.

Until next, happy debugging.

Best Programming Advice Series @ InformIt

As a programmer I am always interested in getting advices from other programmers whether its about processes, improving my skill set, new languages/frameworks, technology trends. There are so many various ways of getting it. Whether its stackoverflow, MS forum, local .NET User groups, twitter or by learning something from your colleague. I recently came across this series at InformIT called “The Best Programming Advice I Ever Got” where they ask some real Geeks about the best programming advice they got. I am finding this series quite interesting. Check it out here.

Until next happy debugging.
