\"DarthThe Edmonton Code Camp<\/a> was a lot of fun. It was wonderful to catch up with friends \u2013 old and new \u2013 over lunch and dinner. Thanks to Dave Woods<\/a> for inviting me.<\/p>\n

I have been enjoying sharing my ideas about convention-over-configuration and how it can simplify software development. You expend some serious brain power over figuring out how to enable your application-specific conventions, but everything after that flows easily and without repetition. You end up doing more with less code. During the talk, I demonstrated how frameworks like Fluent NHibernate, AutoMapper, Castle Windsor, ASP.NET MVC, and jQuery support this style of development. (Links below.) I only scratched the surface though. Other frameworks like StructureMap and FubuMVC also are heavily convention-based. With a bit of creative thinking, you can use these techniques in your own code to reduce duplication and increase flexibility.<\/p>\n
