Some notes and takeaways from my time at ElixirConf.
I went through the ElixirConf schedule to pick out the talks I want to catch. Sharing my notes in case they are useful.
I find ETE to be a great place to hear about fresh tech things outside the echo chamber of my day to day work. This year's event was no exception.
Heading to my first ElixirConf for four days of workshops and talks, including LiveView. Then some well-earned time in Azeroth.
Two conference rules I would love to try someday: everyone presents something, and no laptops or phones in the hall.
I grabbed early bird tickets for Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise 2019, and why I like sampling topics outside my iOS circles.
Notes from ElixirConf 2018, and why Elixir is the ecosystem I settled on after years of sampling everything outside Apple's.
A recap of the social side of WWDC 2018, including a full cost breakdown of doing the week without a conference ticket.
I will be in San Jose for WWDC week, hanging around AltConf and the other events rather than the conference itself.
I am booked for WWDC week in San Jose, June 3rd to 7th. Not attending the conference itself, just the alternative events.
Notes from my first 360iDev in Denver, including where the workshop day worked and where I think the pacing went wrong.
Two of my talk proposals were accepted for 360iDev this August in Denver, including one on the stress around code review.
A recap of speaking at and attending CocoaConf DC 2016, a conference at the comfortable size of about a hundred developers.
I am speaking at CocoaConf DC on September 9th and 10th, a conference still small enough to actually meet the speakers.
Thoughts on the Release Notes Conference, an action-oriented event about the business of apps rather than the code.
Notes from the second CocoaLove in Philadelphia, a conference about the people in the iOS and Mac community rather than the tech.
WWDC is around the corner and I will be next door at AltConf. Links to the events, the speaker lineup, and the live stream.
My first CocoaConf, in Boston. High speaker quality, a good weekend, and the reason I plan to catch a future tour stop.
A quick recap of the first CocoaLove. I counted two open laptops all weekend, which tells you how engaged the room was.
CocoaLove is next month and we are on the last marketing push. Grab a ticket, or get in touch about sponsoring.
A week in review covering the WWDC keynote and Mavericks, E3, and the latest Philly CocoaHeads meeting.
I finally made it to Philly Startup Weekend, 54 hours to launch a startup from nothing. Notes from the weekend.
WWDC 2013 sold out fast, but students still have Apple's scholarship program. I went on one, so apply by May 2nd.
I called a LessConf diversity post pretentious and was asked to explain myself. This is the line-by-line explanation.
Notes from SecondConf in Chicago, a weekend conference about making great things, with a heavily Apple-flavored crowd.
