It was that time of year again - Microsoft Sinergija (Synergy). This time entitled "Where IT all comes together", MS Sinergija 2008 was tech event of the year. It lasted from 14.10. - 17.10. and had over 100 lectures held.
I had great pleasure to be one of the speakers with most lectures, and I held 5 lectures. Two of them were in IT Management track, and other 3 were technological. In one of them, I spoke together with my brother Nenad, who also had 5 tracks like me (we were the only ones speaking at 5 lectures).
This lectures are results of long time effort, but also of hard preparations before the conference. I received great feedback, both from people attending the conference, but also from other speakers who attended some of my lectures.
The lectures I held were (in order that they were held):
- Wednesday
- Domain Specific Development With VS 2008 (together with my brother Nenad)
- Agile Development with Team System
- Thursday
- Writing Maintainable and Robust Applications with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Edition for Software Developers
- Visual Studio Team System 2008 Extensibility for Agile Project Management with SCRUM
- Friday
- Improving Code Performance with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Edition for Software Developers
At each lecture I gave presents: 3 books (Mostly Design Patterns from GoF and Refactoring from M. Fowler) and 2 Nike T-Shirts (one for men and one for women, courtesy of my company, DELTA SPORT). So in total 15 books and 10 T-Shirts. I am sorry I could not reward all the people who where involved in lectures, and will try to fix this next year.

I had great pleasure to be invited to do introductory training for Scrum and Agile Development at Pexim. I organized the training to be whole day long, and to cover most of Agile Development techniques, with Focus on Scrum. I also covered great deal of User Stories and their usage with Scrum. I had excellent audience, consisting of 14 people, from different departments. They were quite involved in whole training and especially in the exercises. It was especially interesting for me to get their feedback, as Pexim is partner company, with main focus on development of banking software. I hope happy faces of trainees on the photo show how good the training was.
