I've uploaded the slides from yesterdays user group presentation in Trondheim. There wasn't really much example code worth uploading, so I just uploaded the Power Point slides. The example code that ships with ATLAS shows most of the stuff I demoed yesterday.

The presentation I gave was about a project me, Gøran and Espen have been working on since early spring. The project is an application that runs in 8 hospitals in the region helping them to track post surgery infections. In the application we used allot of Atlas to improve the user experience. So during the presentation I show cased some of the areas where we used Atlas, and demoed how to implement stuff such as the update panel, the auto complete textbox and the modal popup extender.

I also talked about contentious integration and Cruise Control .NET and how that was a success factor in our project. It turned out that very few knew about CC.NET, so I spent some time discussing it.

After the main presentation I fired up XNA and used the Spacewar starter kit for a friendly competition giving away Francesco Balenas book "Programming Microsoft Visual C# 2005: The Base Class Library".

I've added a set of links relevant to the presentations, including a link to the excellent book "Ship it! A Practical Guide to Successful Software Projects", which discuss continuous integration and other techniques to ship your software project on time.

• The Official Microsoft "ATLAS" Site
• ScottGu's post about the new Atlas names and the feature delivery plan
• Ship it! A Practical Guide to Successful Software Projects
• The Microsoft XNA Framework
• Martin Fowlers article on Cuntinuous Integration - Great intro stuff if you're new to CC
• Cruice Control .NET

Oh, and I have to mention that the Norwegian .NET User Group just released a brand new site which looks really promising. Now we just have to fill it with content.

We need more speakers to keep NNUG going, so if you'd like to give a presentation at NNUG Trondheim, drop a mail to trondheim@nnug.no.

If you have any questions or comment related to the presentation just add them as a comment to this blog post.
