Doug Huff : A Profile on Profiles: "Profiles are a new feature in ASP.NET 2.0 connected with a user or an anonymous user. Unlike session variables, they can be strongly typed, have default values, and are persistant between sessions and within a web farm. Their definition in the web.config file causes consistency throughout the web application, and their ability to be stored in various locations create many solution possibility. However, business data should not be stored as a Profile property within a multiple tier solution. An academic example is the weather forecast based on a ZIP code. The forecast is the business data accessed through a Web service. The Zip code is kept a part of the UI."

Here's the code camp presentations I gave June 17th, 2006 in Tallahassee, FL.

I gave two presentations, one on advanced XML object serialization and a beginner talk on ADO.NET.

I'm not sure, but I think I may give the same presentations again in Tampa and/or Jacksonville. I can easily come up with a dozen presentations and topics to talk about, but I feel XML serialization is important enough of a topic to give several times. I learned a lot from presenting and had a surprisingly good time doing it.

This was my first code camp. We all had an amazingly good time. Had I realized hanging out with a bunch of programmers in a bar was this much fun I would have been doing it years ago.

I'm now planning on attending the Code Camps in Tampa in July and Jacksonville in August... Kinda like the programmer's equivalent of a circuit party. Go to a new city, hang out at a bar with a bunch of programmers, present, hang out and party all night long, rinse and repeat in each major city in the Southeast... Southern Comfort meets intellectual technology meets social networking... Just a wonderful thing.

I'd love to see other persentations, presenter's web sites, and other code camp participants presence online, so drop me a line or a comment and share your thoughts.
