Will TheCodeTrip come through PHX?
The Road Code Trip is on. A few months ago I was hanging out at the ASP.NET User Group meeting in PHX ( www.azgroups.com ) and was brainstorming with Tim Heuer about a fun way to talk about new technology. There was all kinds of conversations about wild ideas, this and that.
It looks like the conversation continued, because now they have a site ( www.TheCodeTrip.com ) and an RSS feed for more information.
The Code Trip is a fun group of guys with a budget to entertain and the passion to teach. Spend some cash to draw geeks in to see/learn some new technology.
With all the new technology coming out these days, it seems like a great way for me to get an introduction into some of the things that I would otherwise not probably pay attention to. I try to stay up with asp.net - so the new stuff for me is 3.5 features, data fun with ado.net, and new services goop with WFC.
The schedule isn't posted, or even the route, but I have to assume they'll be cruising through PHX at some point, just because of the people involved.
This sounds like a fun ride. The site asks to submit ideas. I'm going to submit that they stop in Eloy and give away some sky diving packages :)
I'm also going to ask if I can ride along for a few portions of the trip. Not sure if there is room, those motor homes are usually pretty small, but hey - if you don't ask the answer is always "NO".
