Steve Smith, software craftsman
I’m home after surviving another great Codemash! I’m not sure how many Codemash events I’ve attended but I think it’s [ALL OF THEM] – 2 (looks like the first one was in 2007 so if my math is right (takes off socks) that would be 14 total minus 2 is 12). I had to miss […]
“I have gone through several Pluralsight courses and read several books on DDD and the path I needed to follow for our project was not fully clear until after this class.

You have a presentation to give. You’ve been asked to speak to a group of your peers. You’re giving a conference session. The previous presenter just finished – you’re up as the next speaker. You have fifteen minutes. What do you need to do? This isn’t the checklist for what to do after you’ve just […]
This week I was in St. Louis presenting at dev up, a “new” conference that’s actually no so new, as it was previously the St. Louis Day(s) of .NET, which has been a thing for over a decade, I think. This was my first time at any of the St. Louis events, in any case. […]

This 2-day event will be the largest conference they’ve held, and will have over 700 attendees. […]

The event opened up with a Women In Technology panel that was very well-received, and used 50-minute sessions with 10-minute breaks to pack a lot of sessions into the one day event. I thought the organizers […]
I attended Codemash 2018 last week, and it was (as usual) a great conference. I enjoyed seeing many friends and colleagues and I gave two talks that were both well-attended (one standing room only) and well-received. Here’s a quick recap of the conference. I was fortunate to have a room at the Kalahari, and (better […]
Earlier this month I presented a couple of talks at DogfoodCon in Columbus, Ohio. Sorry it’s taken me so long to share my presentations, but here they are, finally: Improving the Design of Existing Software from Steven Smith Introducing ASP.NET Core 2.0 from Steven Smith While at DogfoodCon I was also interviewed by DevCoaches for […]
I’ll be teaching a one-day workshop at DevIntersections’ spring show on Domain-Driven Design with ASP.NET Core. I gave this workshop, which includes an interactive lab in which you’ll build a working app, in October to a sold-out crowd, so you may need to register early to make sure you get a spot (or to make […]
I recently spoke with David Rael of the Developer on Fire podcast. We talked about a lot of things in our 40 minute conversation. Here are some of the highlights: How I got into software development What excites me about building software My entrepreneurial experience My involvement in ASP.NET Core and .NET Core Personal stories […]
