The Sherpa Project

Go ahead and mark your calendars for January 18th and 19th for CodeMash. What is CodeMash? Well, it’s a conference that’s blending a variety of technologies, methodologies, a great community, and a unique venue for a two-day event in Ohio.

How could you go wrong with a list of great speakers (Tom and Mary Poppendieck, Bruce Eckel, Scott Guthrie, Neal Ford), great tracks (Architecture, Desktop Development, Web Development, Methodologies, Mobility), and a variety of different languages (.Net, Java, Ruby, PHP, Python).

Oh yeah, it’s also at the Kalahari Resort. Can you think of a better way to spend $149 (or cheaper if you get in on the early-bird rate)?

I’ve been amazed by the quality of the individuals that are on my current project. There are some great and smart people here that are very passionate about what we are doing. I ran across this quote by Tom Peters that appeared very relevant…

If your company is having trouble attracting fabulous people, it is because your company sucks.

- Tom Peters

I don’t think it can be said much better than that.
