Some night that was! I was well impressed with the people that showed up, discussion and banter flowed between them based on a shared passion for technology and interest in other people’s approaches.
On this first Code Fest (all in Dutch, apologies) we had implementations of that old classic, James Conway’s Game of Life. On the night we had demonstrations of implementations in Flex, Erlang, Haskell, C++, Alloy, Java, CosMos and the Google App Engine. It certainly had my head spinning, and with what I thought was a cracking atmosphere we couldn’t have asked for more. We have invested a lot of time and energy in getting this thing of the ground, but yesterday evening alone was worth every bit of it.
Thanks all for a great evening.
On a sidenote, I was playing with this domain model to describe Devnology, and thought I’d share it here:
Geek as I am, it helps me focus and explain what I think we can achieve : Building a technology agnostic community by organising events that have high interaction between passionate developers. Enable interaction between academia and the software development industrie (software craftsmen, if you like).
With result like yesterday and the software testing event at TU Delft things are shaping up. Come and join us at our next meeting!
