We attended the PyCon 2011 in Atlanta, GA early this month, which is the longest conference I’ve ever attended (March 9-17, 9 days total) but it was so worth it! We’re mainly a Java shop and we’re fairly new to Python so PyCon really showed us what we can do with Python and all these tools available for it that could really help us with our development. After the conference we’re pretty much convinced that …

I was at the bookstore last week and I saw this book (or magazine, can’t remember) about this list of events to attend before you die. Among them were Mardi Gras, Carnivale, and then the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade came up.

This is my first Tech Ed and I’m really glad I was able to go to this one. There were …

My co-workers and I attended the Microsoft launch event in New York yesterday for Windows Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008, and SQL Server 2008. The theme of the event was “HEROES happen {here},” where the heroes are the IT workers who make the technology work.
