DESCRIPTION:

The CodeMash software developer conference was designed to bring together developers of different technologies, languages, and platforms to learn from one another. The pricing relies heavily on sponsor commitments and volunteer organizers to be able to provide great talks at a registration fee that is affordable for those who have to self pay. Registration includes a panel discussion on the evening of January 9, and sessions on January 10 and 11. With your registration, you also get breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the 10th, and breakfast and lunch on the 11th.

Speakers include: Bruce Eckel, Dick Wall (Java Posse/Google), Jesse Liberty and Scott Hanselman (Microsoft), Brian Goetz (Sun), and Neal Ford (ThoughtWorks), Dustin Campbell, Keith Elder, Bill Wagner, Brian Prince, Nayan Hajratwala, Joe O’Brien, Brian Sam-Bodden, and Josh Holmes.

Python, Java, .NET, Ruby and PHP are all represented. And, we’re adding an Open Spaces component this year, which will allow the participants to formalize those hallway discussions that are usually the most productive part of going to a conference.
