Wow! Celebrity-studded lineup for June! I’ll definitely be there. Great work, guys.
Thanks to all of the people who work hard to make events like this possible, and to the speakers for donating their time and sharing their knowledge. (And it’s nice to see Jeremy pitching in and doing something constructive for a change.)
David Black AND Zed Shaw – cool! I loved Zed’s recent article on experts, masters, and programmers.
Awesome meeting with two truly excellent speakers! It’s been said before but thanks to Jeremy, Tom and John for putting it together.
I’d love to know if David published that singleton class cards / decks example anywhere. I think it would be a good exercise for those of us who enjoyed the presentation but perhaps didn’t get all the nuances of the code the first time around to play with it a bit.
I’ve asked David and Zed for the code and slides from the meeting. I’ll be posting them.
This was a great meeting. Any estimate on if and when the video from the meeting will be available?
I want to show it to a few friends who weren’t able to make it.
