This follows the very sucessfully Developer Developer Developer days http://www.developerday.co.uk which are run commuinity events by events by developers for developers. This mean you get real world experts without the sales pitch and a good grasp real development issues. I will be going to DDD6 this weekend and really looking foward to it. A must talk for me is by Garyshort www.garyshort.org who is doing his favirote patterns.

The Scottish event on the 10th of may is the first in Scotland and is being organised by www.scottishdevelopers.com who put on events in Scotland funmily enough. I do hope the a good range of speakers and a good crowd turns up for it. I've to organise muffins for the event not the most glamourous job but I'm sure its useful nevertheless.

I had an error when adding an appsettings to a app.config file that was created with enterprise libraries 2.0 for the Data Application block. 

Only one <configSections> element allowed per config file and if present must be the first child of the root <configuration> element.

The <appsettings> was placed at  the begining of the app.config; moving it to the end seems to have cured the issue. Weird little error tihs one.
