2013 Dog Food Submission Time
Dog Food 2013 is going to be held November 21st and 22nd at Microsoft’s office in Columbus!
If you're not already familiar with it, here's the scoop: Dog Food is a conference aimed at everyone in the IT stack. Infrastructure folks, developers, SharePoint architects, and anyone else. As you'll suspect from the location, it does have a MS flavor to it. If you're a Ruby dev and want to come I'm pretty sure we can guarantee your physical safety :)
The key thing that you need to know is that the** [call for speakers is open](//dogfoodcon.com/tracks.html)!**
I have the privilege to be helping to wrangle .NET speakers. Here are some ideas that I personally would love to see:
- Using WebAPI to power custom client-side JavaScript controls
- Related to the point above, integrating JS tools like Knockout, Backbone, or Ember into your .NET apps.
- SignalR for Websockets and how you support older browsers (I’m looking at you IE9-)
- In depth talks about EF features. Maybe migrating to Code First in an existing app or something that a lot of people could use
- Interesting talks about ASP.NET MVC topics that not everyone knows about
- NuGet packages that not everyone knows about and should
- C# 5.0 features like async/await that not everyone knows about
- Talks about TDD/BDD and how they integrate into your application lifecycleYou’ll notice I put web stuff first since I’m a web guy :) The conference is also looking for talks related to infrastructure/dev-ops, mobile, SharePoint, and MS Bob. That last one was a lie. So drop whatever it is you are doing and [go submit your talks](//dogfoodcon.com/tracks.html)!
