http://ntschutta.com/jat/2006/03/17/nfjs-day-1/ Just A Thought...on Ajax, usability, software development and anything else that catches my fancy. Fri, 05 Dec 2008 10:13:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 http://ntschutta.com/jat/2006/03/17/nfjs-day-1/#comment-5500 ntschutta.com » Blog Archive » Central Iowa Software Symposium Tue, 25 Jul 2006 02:26:29 +0000 http://ntschutta.com/jat/2006/03/17/nfjs-day-1/#comment-5500 [...] On Saturday, I had the distinct pleasure of presenting Foundations of Ajax and Pragmatic Usability at the Central Iowa Software Symposium. As regular readers know, I’ve attended NFJS events in the past (take a look at my thoughts on this year’s MN show: day 1, day 2, day 3 and of course quotes) but this was my first go at actually presenting. If you’ve ever attended a NF event, you know how outstanding the speakers are so I was really honored when Jay Zimmerman gave me the green light! Based on the feedback I received, I think I held my own which is saying quite a bit when you’re sandwiched by the likes of David Hussman, Venkat Subramaniam, Glenn Vanderburg and a host of outstanding technical minds.

I have to admit, I was quite interested to see Justin in person. You see on Day 1, I spent my entire afternoon in the break out room next to his and all I have to say is, the man is passionate! A couple of times I swear he was channeling Emeril (BAM!) and I even detected a couple of Jim Cramer-esque BOOYAs… Needless to say, I was *not* disappointed. I cannot say enough good things about Justin (and I’m not just saying that because he recommends our book.) Not only did he fill me on his Mac must haves (TextMate, Desktop Manager, and Quicksilver) but he’s also a foody! We both share a passion for cooking, FoodTV and Alton Brown. If you *ever* have a chance to see Justin live (like, say, RailsConf), do not hesitate. [...] […] After that, I sat in on Justin Gehtland’s talk on JavaScript.
