QCon San Francisco 2008
For most of this year, I’ve been taking notes at conferences using Field Notes notebooks. I love their pocket sized dimensions and they have just enough pages to comfortably hold everything from a conference that I’ll want to remember later. However, for QCon last week I decided to try typing everything into Evernote. The fact that I can access my notes on my iPhone makes the notes just as portable ex post facto, and saved my Field Notes for more worthy pursuits.
Evernote worked out very well, and now I can share my notes online just by putting all of them into their own notebook (folder) and making it public.
So without further ado: my notes from QCon.
Overall, I thought QCon was excellent. While the quality of the speakers was somewhat varied in the sessions I attended, I never felt my time might be better spent checking out a different session, which puts it ahead of most conferences. (I’m a big fan of voting with my feet.) QCon is certainly on my short list of conferences to attend next year. Also on my list are (in no particular order): C4, WWDC, RailsConf, eRubyCon, and 360|Flex.
