I attended Design for Developers – a Hands-On Workshop by Bryan Hogan. The most interesting thing I learnt was the use of Adobe Kuler in deciding colors.
Met a lot of interesting people at lunch, including Doug Hall and Jason Cavines. Doug is from Alabama.
Jason has lived in Portland for a while, so we used the lunch time to explore the Llyod mall.
Developer Testing Tricks session was too advanced for me. So I sneaked into Powering Air Applications With Rails session.
Later in the evening, met Vishal Sharma after a gap of 10 years. I and Vishal went to same school in India till 1997.
Met a lot of people from versatile backgrounds. Patrick Moss, who is a scientist in Alder Biopharmaceuticals. Anita Kuno, who traveled all the way from Toronto to attend conference. Shabbir Merchant, who did his MS in US, and now runs a company from Pune, India.
By dinner time we were quite a versatile group, from very different walks of life. We dined Rock Bottom Brewery, and headed out for Birds-of-the-same-feather sessions.
