These are that session abstracts that I submitted to the SQL PASS Summit 2011.

Last week I attended the Miracle Open World 2011 conference. As in the previous years the 80% content, 80% social moniker held true to its reputation. My legs and arms are still sore from carrying four-man rubber rings to the top of the four-story waterslide – not the typical aftermath of a conference. I met a lot of new awesome people and managed to pull of a couple of presentations with decent success as well, judging from the responses I’ve had so far. I’ve included the slides & demo code for the presentations below. Anatomy of an MDF File...

On April 28th I'll be giving a presentation at Aarhus .NET User Group on SharedCache. The presentation will be part of a combined event where Morten Jokumsen will be presenting Velocity and Jakob Tikjøb Andersen will be presenting Cassandra. I'll give a quick run through of what SharedCache is and what it's not, how to use it and what you can expect from it. If all goes well, I'll have my EC2 SharedCache cluster up and running for demo purposes :) If you want to join, please sign up at Facebook.

These are my slides + materials from the sessions I presented at the Miracle OpenWorld 2010 conference.

These are my sessions that I'll be presenting at the Miracle Open World 2010 conference.

On March 10th I'll be giving a presentation at Odense .NET User Group on Scalability & Availability on the Microsoft platform. As the session will be in Danish, I'll be posting a danish abstract: I denne session kommer vi ind på hvordan man sørger for høj tilgængelighed og skalerbarhed af ASP.NET web applikationer ved brug af flere maskiner opsat som cluster. Hvordan sørger vi for konsistent deling af sessions på tværs af maskiner indenfor et cluster? NLB vil blive demonstreret som clustering teknologi med dets styrker og svagheder. Ligeledes vil den nye IIS7 Application Request Routing extension blive...

As promised during my TechTalk today at Microsoft Denmark, here are the links to all slides and demo code. Unfortunately you'll not be able to download the VPC's as those total around 30GB. Download slides & code I sincerely hope you enjoyed the presentation as much as I did. Either way, I'd appreciate your comments on SpeakerRate - Thanks :)

I'm finally sitting in the train on my way home from the Airport and an excellent week spent in Nashville, also known as Nash Vegas. First of all, major kudos go out to John Kellar (@johnkellar) and the rest of the devLINK team. I still can't believe the amazing quality of devLINK as a conference, the speaker lineup, food, party, etc, all for a price of just $75! From what I gathered, there were only three international participants at devLINK this year, including me and @KasperVesth - if devLINK continues its current path, I'm sure there'll be plenty more...

Yesterday I presented on how to use Transactional NTFS (TxF) in .NET, at the Copenhagen .NET User Group. Downloads Slides: TxF.pptxMaterials: TxFMaterials.zip

The session list for devLink 2009 has been announced. I'm delighted to announce that one of my abstracts was chosen - I will be speaking at devLink 2009 in Nashville, TN. I am presenting a session called "Using Network Load Balancing for Availability & Scalability" - I know, original naming is not really part of my skillset. During the session, I will be introducing NLB and demoing how to set it up using a multitude of VMs (might have to get an extra 4 gigs of memory in my laptop). I will also cover some of the...

These are the slides & materials for my "Optimizing SQL Server 2005" talk presented at the Aarhus .NET User Group.

I held a TechTalk on optimizing SQL Server 2005 on the 21st of January. I think it went well so I'm looking forward to the evaluations - please fill them out :) I have put up the slides, code and test database backup for you to download. Slides + Code DB Backup Note that the slides are in Danish - sorry non-danes. As I mentioned at the end of the TechTalk, I barely made it through all of my slides, and that's even after I sacrificed a lot of the topics & depth I wanted...

I continued my TechTalk on security in the .NET framework today, taking off from where we left last time. As promised, here are the demos and slides (in Danish). Regarding the demos, the baseline folders contain the code as it was at the beginning of the presentation, the others contain the code as it ended up after the presentation. Slides Demos

I held my TechTalk on CAS security in the .NET framework today. As promised, here are the demos and slides (in Danish). If you're asked for a key password, it's "123456". Slides Demos

I will be hosting two TechTalks on security in .NET, at Microsoft Denmark in August. The TechTalks will be held in DANISH. Jakob Andersen will be co-hosting the TechTalks, hopefully filling in on my weak points and vice versa. I urge participants to comment on this post regarding topics you would like us to talk about, problems you've had, suggestions and so forth. If you're not attending, please comment anyways - I'll be blogging a lot on security for the time being and I'm always seeking relevant topics to research further :)

Time flies fast. Back in 2006, during my time as an MSP, I made a series of presentations on securing intellectual property in .NET code, resulting in my Securing .NET Code article. Although it's about two years old, most points are still valid today, unfortunately. I recorded a screencast of this article sometime in 2007, but I never really got it published, except for a link on the Microsoft Denmark site. It was my first screencast and unfortunately I made some mistakes, the biggest one being the click sounds from the mouse. An even bigger mistake was me deleting...

During the last couple of weeks, I have been giving lectures on the subject of .NET code protection at some of the danish universities. Part of being a Microsoft Student Partner is exactly this, travelling the universities and spreading knowledge of the Microsoft platform. Naturally .NET is the most exciting topic to talk about as the primary audience mostly consists of computer scientists. Due to my work as a MSP I've got my 2006 Tech-Ed conference entry ticket paid, so I'm taking a short trip to Barcelona on the 8th of november untill the 11th of november. Hopefully...
