If you’re a developer out in the Maritimes, you might want to check out Derek Hatchard’s Maritime Dev Con, which takes place on June 18th in Moncton. It’s a single-afternoon, two-track conference – which means you should be able to take time out to attend it – covering a number of topics including:
- .NET and ASP.NET
- Java
- iPhone development
- Ruby
- Python
- Groovy
- NoSQL and MongoDB
- “Rockstar Estimating Skills”
Maritime Dev Con has a registration fee that won’t hurt your wallet – it’s a mere CAD$19!
I’m a big fan of small, regional gatherings like Maritime Dev Con and its western counterpart Prairie DevCon. Each region has its own specializations and needs that a by-locals, for-locals conference can do a better job of serving, and the smaller size of these conferences allows for more back-and-forth between audience and presenter, and between attendees. Support your local conference!
