No Fluff, Plenty Of Stuff

I  attended the first European No Fluff, Just Stuff (NFJS)in London today and it was a hoot!  Great food.  Great people.  And plenty of technology around dynamic languages, functional programming, rich internet applications, agile techniques, yada, yada, yada…  Thanks to Wendy and crew of SkillsMatter for making it a really enjoyable experience. 

 

Clearly, I have been spending a lot of time walking the walk, and enjoyed these 3 days listening to similar minded people talk the talk.  I had a favourite speaker at the conference, Neal Ford, that I had to actually explain to him at the end that I was not really stalking him.  In all, I attended all but one of his many talks, and his keynote was real thought provoker.

 

Anyway, I have a lot of things to think over that I will drip feed some of my thoughts in this blog over the next couple of weeks.  The NFJS guys also gave away 10 books, 5 IntelliJ licenses and a Nintendo Wii Games Console, in that order, to those that attended the conference by picking delegate names out of a bag.  Guess whose name came out first, Miro Walker, our (Cognifide’s) CEO.  Unfortunately, because he couldn’t make it that day, he didn’t get the prize which would have been first choice of the 10 available books.  Shame! 

 

Now, guess whose name came out last and is now the proud owner of a spanking new Nintendo Wii Games Console…:-)  Yours truly!  Thanks NFJS.  Much appreciated.

 

Damn, I’d forgotten just how much I love conferences….
