Wow, it’s almost here! Codemash (www.codemash.org) is one of the best programming conferences in the area. It’s also one of the most popular, selling out in 20 minutes this year. Not even WWDC did that! It might have something to do with the fact that the conference is held at a huge water park. I know my family is coming; they’ll spend the day at the park while I’m in session and we’ll do things together in the evening.
The conference is fairly unique in this area since it isn’t bound to a particular platform. Ruby on Rails, .NET, iOS, they’re all well represented during the course of the week. Since I enjoy all of those things I always have a great time.
I thought about doing a session this year, but the timing just wasn’t right. I’ll make a submission next year for sure. It’s one of those kinds of participatory conferences. At 750 people it’s the biggest thing going in this area since Microsoft abandoned us a few years ago.
So January 11-13 I may be a bit slow to respond…
