Wellington got SLAMD!

Yesterday I flew down to Wellington to catch up with Sky, Tokes and the good people of Wellington SLAMD to present what has become an evolutionary talk for me.

In May this year, I gave an overly ambitious talk to DDD Melbourne, comparing 'raw' WPF with 3 framekworks: PRISM, MvvmLight and Caliburn.Micro. The talk was rushed and disjointed, and I didn't have time to go into any of the depth I wanted for any of it.

Last month, I spoke at TechEd on MVVM, but I dropped the PRISM and the vanilla WPF parts of the talk - I think it made for a much better talk, but I still had to rush to get through all the content I wanted to cover in an hour.

So last night, it was nice to take my time (and shamelessly overrun by half an hour!) and focus just on the finest of these MVVM frameworks, Caliburn.Micro.

We talked about Conventions, Actions, UI Composition, Coroutines, Event Aggregation (briefly) and Extensibility.

I've shared the demo code here - the powerpoint is in the project...

Thanks to the people who came - I really enjoyed the evening.
