No Fluff Just Stuff 2008

Friday, November 21st, 2008

It’s the weekend before Thanksgiving so you know what that means? NFJS is back in town. This year will be my third straight year in going and we’ll also have about ten of us from CITYTECH attending. It should be a fun weekend geeking out and hopefully learning some new and cool things. Last year’s conference really opened my eyes about Groovy and JRuby so I wonder what this year will bring.

For today’s sessions I am currently planning on attending Neal Ford’s TDD presentation, then either Design Patterns Reconsidered by Alex Miller or Techniques 2008 by Jared Richardson….hmmmm tough choice there. For the last set of sessions for the day (which leads into the keynote) Improving Code Quality by Nathaniel Schutta looks interesting to me since I believe everyone can improve in that area….yes even me.

I’ll give an update later on the ones I ended up going to and what I learned from them. We’re also talking about meeting up at the hotel lounge after the keynote dinner to compare notes and do some networking….stop by if you’re there!
