StackOverflow DevDays nearly sold out
When StackOverflow announced a series of one-day developer conferences in five cities for only $99 each, they expected tickets to sell out quickly. Indeed within a matter of days the first five cities sold out completely.
Working with the staff at Carsonified, StackOverflow co-founder Joel Spolsky quickly added another five cities to the schedule this fall. Over 3,600 developers have registered for the events, to take place this October.
The conferences include a full day of intensive programming tutorials on subjects like Python, iPhone development, ASP.NET MVC, FogBugz, and jQuery. Each session is designed for a smart programmer who is new to the technology, looking to get up to speed quickly. Notable speakers include Joel Spolsky in all ten cities, and Scott Hanselman, Jeff Atwood, Miguel De Icaza, Rory Blyth, Bruce Eckel, and John Resig in select cities. Lunch and snacks are included.
Registration is available at the StackOverflow DevDays website. A limited number of seats are still available in select cities but register soon!
