Screaming Penguin

I am lucky enough this year to have been able to attend a No Fluff Just Stuff conference (thanks to my employer). It's the first time I have been to an NFJS event, and I have to say, it's pretty damn good (even though it's Friday-Saturday-Sunday, strange time frame - in fact, I am in the conference as I type this). Overall most of the presentations I have attended are high quality - not all of them mind you, but most (I am blogging right now, for instance, instead of paying attention in a pretty lame session which shall remain unnamed). Ted Neward is here, and his concurrency presentations were good. Neal Ford is here, and as always his presentations have been excellent thus far (Productive Programmer, TDD, Code Metrics). David Geary is here, doing GWT stuff (though I haven't been able to attend one of his talks due to scheduling conflicts). In all I am very impressed with the quality of the setup, and the speakers. If you get a chance to see the NFJS tour (which comes to multiple cities, see the site), do it.
