Attending Edge Conference In NYC

Pssst... You're reading this on my old blog. You should update your RSS reader for my new one ! I've been invited to attend what looks to be an amazing event, Edge Conference. Edge looked to be a different sort of conference, and I'm excited to see how it works. Edge is about everyone learning from everyone else, so you need to bring something to teach as well as a desire to learn. Every moment of the conference will be publicly available afterward.

I'm Speaking At NCDevCon 2013: My First Speaking Engagement!

I'm actually incredibly nervous. My talk is "Offline-First: an Approach to Modern Web Apps", and in it I'll be talking about dealing with how the assumptions of the web are turned upside-down by the notion of offline web apps, but also how this can help us deal with a host of issues that have plagued us for some time. Come see me speak in Raleigh, NC at the NC State Centennial Campus. The conference runs September 21-22, 2013. I've had a great time at the NCDevCon events the past two years, and I'm looking forward to contributing as a speaker this year!
