Code Generation, Software Factories and Visual Studio Extensibility – Madison
February 4th, 2008[ Update: Due to the snow cancellations this presentation has been rescheduled for March 5th. ]
On Wednesday I will be presenting Code Generation, Software Factories and Visual Studio Extensibility in Madison. Back in October I gave this presentation to the .NET User Group in Milwaukee with a strong attendance. I really enjoy this topic because gaining an understanding of what sort of automation that you can do to not only reduce your manual workload but to also implement more features with higher quality on a regular basis is a killer combination. I am a big fan of using MSBuild to automate routine tasks but code generation and software factories go several steps past just saving time and effort.
The tools that are available to generate code are making dramatic improvements over the last couple of years. The Web Service Software Factory: Modeling Edition was released in November, just a month after my last presentation so I will now be able to cover what was not fully ready then. I expect this demonstration to be a lot more engaging than my last presentation on this topic. You will not want to miss this presentation.

Hey Brennan,
Thanks for your comment on my blog. How did your presentation go? It sounds like you have been doing some interesting work with VSX. Do you have a recording of your presentation? I'd be interested in taking a look.
thanks,
James

The presentation got snowed out due the biggest snow fall in a long time. The presentation will take place on Thursday, which is Valentine's Day. Everyone should be bringing their dates to the presentation.
Nobody should miss this presentation.
