Hello, again! "Weekly Concerns" is a post-a-week series of interesting links, relevant to programming and programmers. You can check out previous Weekly Concerns posts in the archive.
- Pete Shearer from the Pete on Software podcast kindly invited me to be on his show so I could shamelessly plug AOP in .NET:
- Episode 5 of the Pete on Software podcast
- AOP with Matthew Groves blog post, from Pete's blog.
- Pete also did an Intro to AOP with PostSharp blog post.
- "Pete, Pete, Pete, enough about Pete already!" Okay, okay.
- I was reminded again recently how bad I am with regular expressions and how much I don't like them. Well, I came across a "fluent" interface for regular expressions called VerbalExpressions. I haven't used it yet, but it's something to keep an eye on.
- These sorts of questions aren't common on Stack Overflow anymore, but check out the answers for Strangest Language Feature. There are some answers that I found very cool and some that were real head-scratchers. Not a lot of C# answers in there; I guess C# isn't a very strange language :)

Hello readers. I'm just wrapping up here at CodeMash 2014, so it seems like a good time to evaluate... stuff.
First, let's talk about 2013, because I did a lot of stuff:
- Presented a session at CodeMash 2013
- Got a book published: AOP in .NET
- Taught two semesters of Web Development at Capital University
- Helped to organize and run the last CODODN conference (it will be relaunhced as the Midwest Tech Fest)
- Toured all over the place at conferences and user groups, talking about refactoring and AOP
- Doing some live webinars for PostSharp
- Helped run a few small things for CodeMash 2014
- My full-time job at Zimbra (formerly Telligent), and helped to release Analytics 4.0
- I was awarded a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award
So, here's some 2014 stuff:
- I think I will be travelling and speaking less (i.e. I won't be submitting much, but I certainly remain open to invitations)
- I plan to write/screencast more
- I plan to write and share a lot more code, especially mobile apps
- I will still be helping to organize and run the Midwest Tech Fest
As part of this initiative, this blog will be changing from being focused mainly on AOP to having a more general focus. This does not mean AOP is going away! I'm still very much interested in AOP. I am just expanding the concerns across which I am cutting.
Also, I think I may try to change this site over to some sort of Bootstrap layout/theme.
