Hi Michael,

On-line virtual code camps are a good idea. We’re actually looking into this as one option for a different type of event, but until I gain experience with it, I won’t be able to intelligently blog about it.

Hi Mark,

As a follow up to this blog entry, can you blog about the possibility of having on-line/virtual code camps. There are companies out there like ONLC that do on-line training via GoToMyPC. This would be excellent for people who have to travel a long way. It is also draining for people to travel 2 hours on a Saturday after a long work week.

Excellent and well said.

I have seen, and worked with, developers on both ends of the programming pendulum – Ones who have an innate love for the practice and others who have simply learned the basic rules and consider it a career. I have found, based on my experience, that the former type of developer ‘cooks’ with critical thinking abilities augmented by sweet sprinkles of practicality - A mutually beneficial recipe for business and developer. The latter – purchases ‘fast-food’ fried in routine that is mutually harmful for business and developer.

Comment on U2 - No Line on the Horizon - Review by Max

Well, it’s not very intellegent to call POP a commercial disaster.
Don’t forget, my darling, that it has sold 8(!) millions worldwide up to date.
And this “masterpiece” has failed to sell even a single million (stateside) 3 months after being released.
And it also failed to give at least a Top-10 hit in US or UK, no to mention No.1 hit, which is an absolute flop by U2 standards.

So, once again, in fact will they come back from such a commercial disaster?

P.S.
It’s not the sales level which makes any record great or a masterpiece in fact.
Listen to the music and don’t believe the hype!

Thank you so much for the wonderful article. It sure is a hard smack on the face that is bound to wake up anyone who is remotely serious about his/her career. I appreciate the flow of the article as well as the pointer to the resources.

Interesting Article in the NY Times. It is an interview with Steve Ballmer.

“..it’s more important that people can think outside the confines of their individual expertise and their product group and connect the dots between technologies… ” - Steve Ballmer
