I just did a presentation here which several people filmed and will upload to Youtube later. Other speakers were Matt Mullenweg and Timothy Ferris. As you can see we are having a very good time…

Zoals eerder beschreven ben ik op 22 mei (ja ja, morgen al!) dagvoorzitter bij het Nationaal ICT Event 2008. Er zijn een hoop leuke sprekers en het zou leuk zijn als het NOG drukker zou zijn als afgelopen jaren. Heb je zin om te komen meld dan je dan aan als mijn relatie en je krijgt 50% korting op de 99 euro toegangsprijs. Gewoon ‘Boris’ invullen bij ‘couponcode’ in het inschrijfformulier en je betaald dus maar 50 euro.
Developers are cool. They know stuff that I don’t. I look up to developers. I would love to be a great developer! I can build stuff in PHP but don’t actually ‘understand’ it like real developers do. 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 international speakers who will talk about the latest developments and best-practices for web development work.
A few examples:
John Resig, who founded jQuery and is a JavaScript evangelist at Mozilla. But also Nate Koechley, developer at Yahoo who knows a lot about front-end development and Nate Abele, core-developer of CakePHP, the PHP-framework loosely based on Ruby on Rails.
There will also be 8 Open Source projects presented onstage by local developers.
I look forward to meeting a lot of Kings of Code there and having a beer too at the party after the event. See you there?
If you are planning to attend do register today as the event is very popular and there are only a few tickets left…
Yesterday evening I had some people over for dinner including Werner Vogels. He is the CTO of Amazon.com. He noticed my Slurpr and wanted to know what it does and how it worked. I showed the device and told him all about it. Then he persuaded me to pitch the device on video for him. This was at the end of the evening after a lot of champagne and wine and I was very tired.
Check this movie (Dutch only) by Eelke Dekker who does amazing work with video. If you need a movie for something and want it to look cooler and hipper than usual stuff consider hiring Eelke.
The interview was done by Frank from frankwatching.com but unfortunately he is not visible in the video. I like the effect of the fast moving background. I actually sat there on that bench for about 30 minutes for the interview and after that they filmed the background for another 30 minutes and then edited the whole thing into one movie. Pretty cool stuff!
