Actually, I was in the presence of lots of people with a much higher nerd rating than me. And many of them were kind enough to share their knowledge with the several hundred developers that registered for this annual event.
These super-nerds presented a wide variety of topics to us tech-hungry developers and there was something for everyone. The “Getting Started with .NET” track aimed at anyone new to development was a great idea!
DDD Southwest was held at the University of the West of England or UWE – pronounced you-ee by us locals - just outside Bristol on a Saturday 5th June. A very hot day too.
Guy Smith-Ferrier gave an opening speech to welcome us all and explain the proceedings for the day. I was very proud that SQL Server Club was a sponsor for this fab event and it was great to see our logo up on the sponsors slide.
I’d also volunteered to help out for the day and was given the role of Room Monitor. Quite an easy one really as I was able to sit in on all the sessions I really wanted to see.
