Congrats to Richmond Code Camp

April 29, 2007 · 1 min read

Once again I am awed by a Code Camp, this time Richmond Code Camp 3.    Great job by the Richmond crew - from the organizers, Andy Leonard, Susan Lennon, Frank LaVigne and Darrel Norton, to the speakers, volunteers and of course the attendees.  There were close to 100 people there - great turnout.  It was good to see some other folks from Roanoke there - TOLGA: You are one true geek getting up and leaving at 4:30 am then driving back on the same day!

I spent most of my time learning about 3.0 Framework and the new release of SharePoint.   I have definitely fallen behind in my reading but Code Camps give you a rocket boost toward catching up.  It's also motivating to be with folks so excited about the new techology. 

As always, there is the Code Camp Bonus of seeing friends I made at prior Code Camps.  It adds much to the email / IM networking.  Now I have plans to meet again at Tech Ed in June.

    Full Scale made the Inc. 5000 for the fifth year straight, the 12th listing across my three companies. Here is why the one award you cannot buy is worth stopping for.

  • Your Customers Build the Features Now

    I let a tool I liked sit dead for a year rather than build the features I wanted. An MCP server meant I never had to, and your customers can do the same to your product.

  • Get the Size of a Directory in Linux the Easy Way

    du -sh for the quick answer, ncdu for the cleanup, df for the disk itself: every command for checking directory size in Linux, plus why du and df never agree.

  • Vim Search and Replace: The Ultimate Guide

    One :%s command replaces every match in a file before a find dialog would even open. The Vim substitute patterns worth the muscle memory: flags, ranges, capture groups, and multi-file edits.
