 UPDATE 4 (2007-01-21): Links from this post removed, go see this post for SQLce 2005 RTM info. 

UPDATE 3: I've received some complaints about confusion with regards to this post, so I've changed the title.

UPDATE 2: The runtime is currently available as an RC1 release; look for the true RTM in January 2007.

UPDATE: The links are currently broken; I have asked what the delay is.

Hey you!  Going to CodeMash?!?   What's that, you don't know what it is?  Let's find out:

CodeMash is a unique event that will serve to educate developers on current practices, methodologies and technology trends across a variety of platforms and development languages.  Java, .NET, Ruby, and PHP anyone?

Even better is that CodeMash is held at the Kalahari Resort  (596 beautifully appointed African-themed guest rooms and suites) in Sandusky, Ohio. What a great way to escape winter weather in the Great Lakes region!

Ok, enough cheesy sales pitch.. you want the goods, eh?

How about more than forty-five sessions across areas like:

  • Architecture (SOA, WS*, Interoperability and more)
  • Desktop Dev (Smart Clients, client/server, and any standalone apps on your favorite platform)
  • Web Dev (Web services, AJAX, frameworks, and all sorts of browser magic)
  • Methodologies (Help you do it faster, better, cheaper, and with less pain)
  • Mobility (devices, content distribution, social networking, and more)
  • Languages (see what's new and nifty with C#, Python, Ruby, Java, PHP and more)

Check out the session list (and those are just the confirmed ones, more sessions still being added, so check back often!).

Speakers?  How about Bruce Eckel, Neal Ford, and yes, Scott Guthrie.

Register now!   Register by December 18, 2006 and registration is only $99 and get a guaranteed room. Time and rooms are running out!  Conference registration, meals, hotel room for only $349!
