GeeCON

From APIDesign

I've just had another Paradoxes of API Design presentation at GeeCON at Krakow. This time I had to talk for three hours (get the [[slides). Quite a long talk for an occasional speaker like me. I knew I would need a sugar to handle that. That is why I stood in front of the entrance with HtmlForFood sign and hoped to receive some. And I did receive one candy, one apple and one mandarin. Thanks a lot for the food donation!

As a pay back for this kind of support I decided to donate one copy of TheAPIBook to the audience. Thus I am starting yet another HtmlForFood contest. Dear Geecon 2011 participants, write your signs, take photos, end them to food@apidesign.org! The copy of TheAPIBook will be given to the most hungry winner on Friday, May 13, 2011.

The list of submitted photos can be found at mailing list archive. Thanks a lot for your participation. I enjoyed the desperate look, the artistic style, the dedicated look and at the end I decided to give TheAPIBook to Damian's desperate arrangement. Thanks a lot for participating.

The conference itself was amazing. Good content before and after party, perfect treatment from organizers, beautiful and lively town. I can only recommend visiting GeeCON.

Only one drawback to complain about. I've mentioned that in 1992 we had a lecture at university about Internet. Sure, teaching internet at universities is something people can hardly these days, but that wasa not the problem. The problem was response of organizer: At that time I was six! Geeee, I must be getting old!
