In 2003 I sold my Wi-Fi Hotspot company to Dutch telephone operator KPN. One of the first things we did (we = me and my partners Koen & Caspar) after we signed the contract was to install HotSpots in the lobby of the main KPN building.

In other words, I’m not a King of Code. But that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy the Kings of Code gathering on May 27 in Amsterdam! In fact, as one of the initiators of the event, I must be there! Yeah, the Kings of Code gathering is an event by developers for developers with developers. There will be...
