If you're in the midwest, please consider coming to Codemash! This is going to be a rockin' conference. We are even going to have one of my favorite presenters, authors, and just all-around cool guys Scott Guthrie as a keynote speaker!
This event is being organized by several volunteers. I am very excited to have been involved in the early on planning of this event, and seeing how things are unfolding. This event will be held in Sandusky, OH at Kalahari, an indoor water park in January. What could be more fun than surfing in the winter and getting to learn about technology too??

The really cool thing about this event is that it's turly a "mash" of many languages and technologies. You'll hear presentations from community leaders on all sorts of cool stuff including C#, Java (can I say that?), PHP, Python, Ruby, and others.
And... I just heard back today that two of my abstracts were accepted! I am very excited about that. I will be presenting an introduction to Ajax, and also "Using the Microsoft Ajax Library". If you read my blog you'll know that I've been doing a lot of work in this area. I think these will be some great topics and I am looking forward to presenting them. I hope you will consider coming out- we are shooting for 500 attendees at this conference! It's going to be HUGE!
Right now there is an early bird registration. So check out the site and hit "register" to find out more. You will get a room rate at Kalahari for $88 a night, which is REALLY cheap. Well worth it. Let me know if you plan on attending!!
