Another Successful Event

This weekend was yet another Code Camp that came off without a hitch. I learned things. I got inspired. I made new friends. I won a raffle prize.

It’s time already to start preparing for the next one in January, at Cal StateFullerton.

Slides Available

I gave two speeches this time. Here are the slides (as a PDF) for the Introduction to Groovy talk I gave today at Code Camp. And, here are the slides (as a PDF) and the 1-page handout for the Simplicity Appreciation 101 talk. As always, feedback is appreciated.

Code Camp Schedule Posted

The next SoCal Code Camp is coming up fast. It’s the weekend of October 15 & 16 on the campus of USC. I will be giving two presentations. One talk is entitled “Groovy and Groovy++, In Case You’re Curious” and the other is an encore of my “Simplicity Appreciation 101” talk from the January Code Camp (at Cal State Fullerton). (Full descriptions below.)
Both of my presentations are on Sunday the 16th in room GFS-107.

  • 12:30-1:30 – Groovy and Groovy++, In Case You’re Curious
  • 3:00-4:00 – Simplicity Appreciation 101

Fullerton Code Camp Next Weekend (1/29 & 1/30)

The schedule for the SoCal Code Camp next weekend (1/29 & 1/30) has been posted: http://www.socalcodecamp.com/schedule.aspx. My talk, Simplicity Appreciation 101, is during the first session on Saturday, so be sure to get there early. It starts at 8:45 in room H 123, which appears to be the designated room for the, “agile & project management track” (quotes are mine).  Building H is the Humanities/Social Sciences Hall, which is to the right as you walk in from the parking lot (lot F).

After me, Llewellyn and Woody give their Agile Introduction talk. Then, Woody keeps going with “10.5 Easy Code Excellence Techniques”, and that’s followed by various talks about project management survival. Note: the schedule is subject to changes up until Thursday (1/27).

This promises to be the best Code Camp yet. I’m looking forward to the fact that I get to give my speech early, so I can then kick back and enjoy the rest of the conference.
