Move over Cleveland! I must say that attending the recent Oklahoma Code Camp was one of the best decisions I've made in quite some time. Raymond Lewallen managed to line up a set of rockstar speakers. Thanks Ray!
It was great finally putting faces to names (Dave Laribee) while getting the chance to meet some of the people who have greatly influenced me in my day-to-day programming (Scott Bellware). There was some serious Agile brain-trust at the event, and I managed to make some new connections (Dave Nicolette) which I think will prove very valuable over the long run.
I think Ben summed my feelings up the best. Meeting a group of like-minded people has really solidified my beliefs. The networking aspect alone was worth the price of a plane ticket and a hotel room. I'm coming away a much stronger developer.
Passion is contagious--the .NET community beware.
