Alright it’s already days after the conference has closed and people have been twittering and blogging about their extended travels. I’ve got another post about going to Dresden I’ve been meaning to post… so I thought I’d would cover three more things from the last day which I found very interesting.
There were more interesting […]
RejectConf was held in a bar down in Kreuzberg. It was kind of cool to get out of Mitte for a bit, away from the gleaming hotels down to canal where packs of surprisingly young Berliners were living it up. The format was basically 5 minutes on whatever you want. It seems […]
Went to some good talks today. David Black, the conference organizer, is a strange guy. Strange in the “probably has a PhD” sense. He’s got an Amish beard: the regular beard sans ’stache. Sweet. One of the only things that I remember specifically from Canada on Rails was David’s talk, […]
Technically the conference started last night, after a full days of tutorials, when Dave Thomas gave the keynote. But this morning’s talk by DHH started off the day and it feels like this are happening now at the conference.
When I was working at the Java Development Center at Sun, I remember the moment when […]
This was the first time that I saw Dave Thomas speak. The pragmatic programmer guy, not the Wendy’s guy. But I’m sure that you all know that.
The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination. Few […]
Notes from a tutorial given by David Chelimsky, Dan North, and Aslak Hellesoy.
One of the interesting things about this talk was that instead of using something like PowerPoint or Keynote the used a mind mapper tool. It may be hard to see on the right, but I thought that it was an interesting idea […]
I’ve had 3 or 4 conversations which roughly follow the arc that the world has changed from how we’ve been developing software and the Rails Way has been born out of reevaluating what is necessary and what is merely wrong conventional wisdom. We’re halfway through the first day, or the tutorial day before the […]
I’ve seen pictures of this “2D image painted in 3D space” but never in person. Pretty neat.
Smart car in action.
Sweet looking grafitti. I’m standing on the sidewalk on Friedrichstrasse which is a pretty major street, but this is basically in the backyard of an old (school?) building which has been turned into an […]
I’m heading to Berlin tomorrow for RailsConf. I’m always looking for an excuse to go to Berlin, and this is a good one. The first conference I went to what JavaOne many years ago where I presented a paper with Chris Roberts about integration Rule Engines into enterprise software. I’ve been to […]
