Side effects of attending CodeMash

It's been a couple of weeks since CodeMash . Since then I've had a little time to collect my thoughts and reflect. In addition to the normal things that you'd expect to get from a great conference like CodeMash (like some education, meeting some great people, and some great converstations) I put together...

CodeMash v2008 Recap

I finally found my way home from CodeMash around noon on Saturday. I stayed an extra night because I didn't want to drive home Friday night the 3+ hours to Cincinnati. I really felt like wuss after hearing that the guy who drove in 13 hours from South Dakota for the event was driving out Friday night...

CodeMash: Best quote so far

"... we may have more in common than we think" from the leader of a Python user group to the rest of the virtual CodeMash Google Group audience. I tried to avoid the philosophical "we are the world" mumbo-jumbo that surrounded the CodeMash conference. Really, I'm a .NET guy and I was there to learn some...

CodeMash: Recap

As I sit down to write this post, " codemash " is the number #1 searched term on Technorati . To say our little grassroots, non-denominational, cross-platform/language conference was a success would be an understatement.

CodeMash: My Day II

Scott Gu 's keynote presentation on LINQ was great! As was his ASP.NET 2.0 Tips and Tricks presentation. Next for me was Dave Donaldson 's NHibernate presentation. Dave's presentations are always a pleasure to attend and learning something about NHibernate was a bonus, especially since that is one of...

CodeMash Day 1 Wrapup

Bruce Eckel 's after lunch keynote speech was great, too. It was all about thinking outside the box, experimenting, and kind of like applying principles from the design world into development. It was very motivating. After that I attended Ben Carey 's presentation, Beyond TDD: Exploring Its Benefits...

Hello from CodeMash

Neal Ford 's keynote presentation on Domain Specific Languages and Language Oriented Programming was great. Neal is a great speaker and a very smart guy! In fact, I'm sitting beside him in the speaker's room right now listening to him shoot the breeze about old Delphi days and some past presentations...

Windows Developer Power Tools in the wild!

Jim's post and picture explain it all. He looks like a happy man, doesn't he? I'll write some more about the book a bit later - like where you can go to meet a large bunch of people who contributed to it as well as the two authors.
