What is Community?

I’ve travelled the world and the seven seas… ok, ok, just North America, but since September of 2007 I’ve had the opportunity to visit nearly 100 community events from user group meetings, code camps, micro-conferences to major tradeshows such as Tech-Ed and PDC. During my travels I’ve been able to talk...

Shotokan Development

Note: There is still so much more I want to say on this topic, but that will have to wait for another post as I further distill my thoughts. At the end of my three week stint in Redmond, WA in October and November I was thrilled to be able to support Sara Ford as she tested for her second dan (second...

Community Tour 2010

I think most folks know that I tend to speak at developer events from time to time. Actually in 2008 I gave 48 presentations at 32 events. My goal for 2009 is 52 events and I have 44 confirmed so far. Next year though I thought I’d take it up another notch. No, I’m not going for 72 events as some have...

Needless to say I was thoroughly exhausted when I got home. One of the highlights of the week though was the Wednesday night...

Being New Years and all, I thought I would set a goal this year. Last year, I gave 48 presentations at 32 engagements. While most seem to think this is a lot...

Geek Food Drive

It is estimated that over 33.5 million people in the United States and Canada will go hungry during the holidays this year. According to my data, which is a bit old, there are well over 180,000 registered user group members in the United States and Canada. My challenge is simple: for all user groups...

I have been working on my own personal beliefs as to what community is and what community should be. For those who read this, please understand I am still very early in my journey and what is contained below is only my current thinking on this matter.

How did you get started in software development?

A certain meme has been going around asking developers how they got started in software development. While I'm a little late to the game, here's my story: How old were you when you started programming? I was around 15 years old when I started playing with HyperCard and Filemaker Pro on a Mac...
