CodeMash 2010 – Arrival and Introduction
I arrived last night around 8pm. The drive was much much better than last year. The usually gang was out and I did not get to bed until late, and of course I was up early for the keynote. CodeMash is a unique event that will educate developers on current practices, methodologies, and technology trends [...]
WordPress and CodeMash 2010
I’m actually happy converting back to WordPress, the number of plugins have saved me boat-loads of time. I’ve got an issue with the way it stores data, but I need to let that go so I can focus on adding content to my site. I’m also heading to CodeMash 2010 in a few days. I [...]
CodeMash 2008 – In Review
The conference was awesome! I met some more cool people and got a chance to catch-up a little with some friends I met from last year. I did not get to attend as many sessions as I had hoped because I was debugging the robot (Feynman-JR) before my presentation, but did get a chance to [...]
CodeMash 2008 – Introduction
Last night I arrived around 6:30, just in time to get the robot to the room and checked in before the panel discussion. It was my first panel dicussion and was a little nervous but otherwise just rambled as usual so it was not too bad. I had a few drinks and met some new [...]
Speaking at CodeMash 2008
I will be speaking about Robotics at the upcoming CodeMash, held January 9-11 at the Kalahari Lodge in Sandusky, Ohio. This years talk will be about robotics software and will originate from the Java source code in my book to using .Net, PHP, Ajax, and even some Ruby. I think the most important thing is [...]
CodeMash 2007 – Unexpected Early Depature
To all the cool people I met and cool sessions I was not able to attend today, sorry but I had to leave early this morning to attend to stuff in Columbus. I can't wait to see you again, VERY COOL CONFERENCE! Looking forward to 2008.
CodeMash 2007 – Last Post of the Night.
Well, I spoked with more speakers tonight than I did during any of the sessions. There was a Very Cool After Hour Party thrown by Quick Solutions. I feel bad that I could not talk to so many cool people, but I met a few fellow APress Authors, which was very cool, a bunch of [...]
CodeMash 2007 – Enterprise Python Architecture
This was a basic Python overview. I was wishing for more grit, but given the demographic (Java/.Net) folks, this was probably just about right. I get the GIST that Python is really for people with or wanting Linux systems, that need or want to integrate and wrap a bunch of C/C++ APIs to/with their application. [...]
CodeMash 2007 – Dynamic Languages (Keynote #2)
This was a talk by Bruce Eckel, of MindView.Net. I found his presentation interesting, mostly it was a talk about Burning Man, with interlaced photos, the story he told about why dynamic languages are a natural part of software development was nice. The slide that stuck with me the most was a book, Peopleware, that [...]
CodeMash 2007 – Ruby *
I have listened to 2 sessions thus far on Ruby, the first what makes Rails Possible, the second JRuby. Actually all talks today, except for the MySQL one, were talking about Ruby as a language. It's simplicity, it's elegance, what it does that Java, PHP, C#, do not.
