If you're in Southern California this weekend, why not drop by the free, two-day SoCal CodeCamp conference? It's hosted in Fullerton, CA with sessions on both Saturday the 21st and Sunday the 22nd. A complete schedule is available here.
As I blogged about before, I'll be giving two talks on Sunday the 22nd:
- Syndicating and Consuming RSS - RSS is an increasingly popular XML-based syndication format used by websites to keep interested visitors abreast with the site's latest news and information. News sites like CNN, MSNBC, and Yahoo! News provide their latest headlines through RSS; virtually every blog offers an RSS feed. In this talk we'll look at RSS's structure and see how to both syndicate content using RSS and how to consume remote RSS content through a website.
- Working with HTTP Handlers and Modules - HTTP Handlers and Modules provide a low-level way for developers to tap into the ASP.NET HTTP pipeline. When a request arrives for an ASP.NET resource, a number of events can fire during the request's lifecycle. HTTP Modules are managed components that you can create and attach to these request cycle events. To render the request, the ASP.NET engine instantiates an HTTP Handler based on the incoming request. To handle special types of requests, you can create your own HTTP Handler.
Hope to see you there!
