Bruce Eckel blogged about CodeMash and the reward of community-based conferences. I'm glad that he and many others have reported a positive experience at CodeMash. It really does make all of the work in organizing such an event seem more worthwhile...
The whole idea behind CodeMash is to get people to learn something about languages, platforms, etc. that they don't typically use for programming, to "free their minds". I was thrilled to hear Brian Goetz express that sentiment in such a...
We have several free events coming up at SRT. On Thursday, January 3, at 7 pm is the monthly Michigan Python User Group meeting. Discussions will likely center around a project called Python Underground and I've heard rumors of a discussion of the...
If you're a CodeMash 07 alum and planning to attend CodeMash v2.0.0.8 Jan 9-11 in Sandusky, OH, I hope you're online today and registering. The alumni discount ($110) expires today. Regular registration goes through Jan 5 ($175) but then the procrastinator...
OK, the CodeMash Google group is a very cool group of people. I mentioned yesterday about the Nerdcore reference. Today, one of the group members (Matthew Williams) has written lyrics for a CodeMash song to the tune of Monster Mash. Here's a preview...
OK, while perusing the CodeMash Google group , I've learned a new term: nerdcore . There is a fairly lengthy thread between some of the attendees who will be organizing a jam session at the conference. VERY COOL. But nerdcore? I had to look it up...
I'm happy to report that Dick Wall will be speaking on Android as well as Guice at CodeMash . These should be highly technical talks. Dick is co-host of the popular Java Posse ( http://javaposse.com ) podcast and a developer advocate on the Google...
I'm really looking forward to CodeMash 2008. There is an amazing list of speakers. Here's a subset of the talks that interest me (not in any particular order) Testing with Guice, by Dick Wall Dick is a cohost of the Java Posse podcast, which is...
The CodeMash organizing committee realized that a large number of attendees at CodeMash are independent consultants, self-paying for the event. We realized that we had left them out when we were designing sponsorship opportunities, and so we have introduced...
CodeMash is a conference that I'm involved with, as an organizer. Next year's event will be held Jan 9-11 (panel discussion the evening of the 9th, with full days on the 10th and 11th), at the same location as the 2007 event: the Kalahari Resort...
Today, I had the pleasure to attend ArbCamp , an Open Spaces event that was held in the Ann Arbor area (at Washtenaw Community College). Over 100 people showed up. This event was incredibly well organized and, as with all of the Open Spaces events I've...
CodeMash is a very cool conference that I helped to organize last year, and am again involved with this year. The concept is to bring together developers from different languages, platforms, technologies, to learn from one another. Like last year's...
The CodeMash conference inaugural event, in January of 2007 attracted a lot of great speakers and exceeded our expectations in terms of educational value. Speakers included nationally known experts Bruce Eckel, Neal Ford, Scott Guthrie, Mary Poppendieck...
Combining Flex with other technologies Is it possible to combine Flex with other technologies? We saw James Ward build a Flex front end for a TurboGears app at CodeMash . What else makes sense? Those are the questions that we tried to answer in the last...
I’m here in Redmond, WA, for the Microsoft Technology Summit, an event geared toward people who have been identified as community leaders in a geographic region and who do NOT predominantly use Microsoft development tools. Travel here was uneventful...
