Techdays 2009, Finland

I attended Techdays 2009 at Helsinki on 5th of March. It was the biggest MS event in Finland so far, measured purely by the number of audience. I had the honor to participate on Thursday and sit down and chat with many well-known experts like Peli de Halleux, Scott Galloway as well as hang around at the night party.

One of the best picks was Peli de Halleux's personal lesson about PEX (Automated White-Box Testing for .NET), I wholeheartedly recommend that every serious .NET developer at least takes a look at it. Made me feel stupid I haven't heard of it before as well as I didn't know really too much about the facts surrounding it (despite that I believe I know something about architecture and testability)

Also, big thanks to people at Microsoft Finland. You were great!

Here's a few pics (some of them aren't too good, sorry, my phone camera doesn't always succeed)
