Jeffrey Palermo<\/a> is throwing another of his famous parties, this time at TechEd 2007 in Orlando, Florida. I attended a “Party with Palermo” at the Microsoft Global MVP Summit in Redmond this spring and it was a blast. A veritable who’s who in the Microsoft space. I got to meet a lot of cool people whom I’d only conversed with online. I hung out with Jeffrey and the rest of the agile crowd for the remainder of the week. Hence my association with the NHibernate Mafia<\/a> by Richard Campbell on .NET Rocks. (Actually it’s the TDD Mafia<\/a>, as Scott Bellware<\/a>* later corrected him.) So this is a party that you don’t want to miss. <\/p>\n

Date: June 3, 2007 from 7-11pm<\/strong>
Venue: Glo Lounge (http:\/\/www.gloloungeorlando.com<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

* I would like to go on record stating that Scott Bellware has done a tremendous amount for the agile community, but I don’t understand his anti-Microsoft rants as of late, nor do I agree with them. Microsoft, like any company, has good and bad aspects in terms of products, direction, competitiveness, licensing, etc. It’s also a huge organization. Maybe Scott doesn’t like some aspects of Vista — which he is within his rights to complain about — but don’t paint the Developer Division (and others) with the same brush. There is no place for personal attacks or derogatory comments when trying to engage in a meaningful discussion on improving a product or a company. Just my three cents. (Inflation, don’t cha know.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
