Most developers want the best possible performance from their code.

A variety of techniques for inefficient coding will be covered including: Flow control with Exceptions Abusing Threads Misuse of the Heap It's one man against some of the brightest minds in Redmond, seeking an answer to the question "How Slow Can It Go?" BEN LAMB is your presenter for this event, Ben has been writing business applications since the days of Visual Basic 2.0. During the dot-com era he had a brief foray into web development helping to write the UK's first online hotel reservation system, LeisureHunt, and developed geo-location services for a 3G mobile phone company. Realising that .NET was his platform of choice he now writes financial trading systems for investment banks in the City with occasional diversions into Python, Open Source and other interesting technologies.

DevEvening: Christmas CodeFest
35km away in Woking
This time we're trying something different:We all learn in different ways. While it can be good to learn by hearing people present and demonstrate new techniques, it can also be good to learn by seeing how different people solve the same problem. That's what we hope to do at the CodeFest.The plan is for everyone to write automated players for a simple game. Don't worry if this sounds complicated, it will only involve implementing an interface containing 4 methods.
