Are You Coming to CodeMash?

I’m volunteering to help folks behind CodeMash spread the word. I have no idea how they managed to invite such well-known speakers and yet keep the cost so low. For those of you who haven’t heard about CodeMash, here goes the official pitch:

If you haven’t registered for this extraordinary event, the early bird registration deadlines is approaching fast! Don’t miss the opportunity to attend CodeMash, a unique event that will educate developers on current practices, methodologies and technology trends in variety of platforms and development languages such as Java, .NET, Ruby and PHP.

Held January 18-19, 2007 at the lush Kalahari resort in Sandusky, Ohio, attendees will be able to attend a world-class technical conference amid Ohio’s largest indoor waterpark. So nobody will frown if you show up in shorts, sandals, and your loudest t-shirt. You might even win a prize for doing so.
