Thanks to all the folks that came to my Deep Dive CSS for the ASP.NET Developer session at this past weekend's Atlanta Code Camp.  I got some really great feedback from the evaluations and will definitely incorporate some suggestions into this presentation in the future. 

The abstract, updated code and slides are available here:

 Deep Dive CSS for the ASP.NET Developer

Thanks everyone for the comments and tips offered after I gave this presentation at Alabama Code Camp, as well as, at the Atlanta Cutting Edge .NET group last week.  I received several "so that's how it works" comments and that was exactly the point of this talk.

Here is the abstract of the presentation:

This will be a thorough discussion of all that is CSS.  Whether you know it as the necessary evil or the great enabler (that just hasn’t quite clicked for you yet), you should walk away with something valuable from this discussion.  I will begin with the basic box model and travel all the way to the holiest of grails (the no tables here, two and three column ASP.NET Master Page layout…yours to take home for free!).  Along the way, we’ll touch on some CSS Best Practices and gotchas in ASP.NET and take a look at the new CSS tools in Visual Studio 2008 (Orcas).

Note:  The solution file provided is from Visual Studio 2008 (Orcas) Beta 2.  There is nothing .NET 3.5 specific (as most of it is HTML anyway).   

Update 04/01/08:  Updated the download to compile under Visual Studio 2008 RTM

Finally able to grab a minute to post my code and slides from the Introduction to Generics presentation that I did this past weekend at the Alabama Code Camp at the University of Alabama. 

This is the abstract from the presentation:

With the release of the 2.0 version of the .NET Framework, Generics became first class citizens

in the Common Language Runtime.  Yet, many still shy away from using them because of perceived difficulty or other misconceptions.   This presentation will seek to dispel a few of these myths and offer a gentle introduction into using Generics on a daily basis.  Along the way, I’ll also demonstrate language enhancements in the .NET 3.5 runtime that lend themselves nicely to working with Generics.

Note:  The code is compiled on Visual Studio 2008 (Orcas) Beta 2.  The only project in the solution that uses .NET 3.5 specific code is the Collections project.  This uses C# 3.5 Automatic Properties and Property Initializers.
