As promised, here are the slides from the Understanding Functional Programming session:

If you have any questions or comments, please send Chris an email; he loves to explore and discuss technology.

What topic(s) would you like to see next time?

“Code Camps have been taking place all over the country. This is a free, one-day event put on by the local Phoenix community to help promote software development in general. There is no right or wrong language, platform, or technology. If a topic relates in any way to the code that causes a machine to produce a desired result, it’s welcome here.”

This year it will be held at the DeVry University Phoenix Campus and is once again being organized by Lorin Thwaits.

Flatterline will be teaching two sessions this year in the 21st Century Software Development track: Developing with CouchDB and Understanding functional programming.

The schedule became available today, so if you haven’t registered do so now and build your schedule for Saturday. It looks like there are a lot of great sessions this year and we can’t wait to learn from all of our colleagues. See you there!

Rather than try to recap the events of the conference, which were too numerous to do any sort of justice, I want to say thanks to all the great people we got to spend time with.  If we got a business card from you then we’re going to be in contact…. though it might take a few days while we catch up on the sheer volume.

As pictures and media become available I’ll post the links here.  More likely than not I’ll get around to creating an account on Tumblr to keep the Flatterline feed a little more active.

That’s right, folks, both Chris Chandler and Curtis Miller will be hitting up SXSW this year in Austin. We arrive Thursday night and leave Tuesday night. Unfortunately, we made our plans when we still worked for someone else, so we tried to minimize time off from work… boo!

But wait, there’s more. We’re also going with some awesome people from Phoenix and sharing a loft right on 6th street!

Who’s Coming?

• Josh Huckabee, an awesome freelance drupal and ruby on rails web developer. Josh used to work with us about a year ago and has since gone on to some cool projects (even one that relocated him to Europe for a while). He’s also the one who found and secured our SXSW headquarters. Thanks Josh!

• Chris Irish, the co-founder and lead developer of Freebootr.com, a site enabling people to post, search and locate free items near you and give them a new life. It’s all about reducing the amount of waste entering landfills. Oh, he’s also your mom’s hero.

• Matt Gist, an interaction, interface and user experience designer in Boulder, CO. I think Matt’s the most excited about this trip to SXSW, he’s been sending us link after link to parties we should sign up for and events we need to know about. In fact, we’re trying to set a new record for longest. email. thread. ever.

• Brian Shaler, a Flash developer and jumper extraordinaire who seems to split his time between Phoenix, Disneyland and assorted couches across the country. Brian co-hosts the Super Wicked Awesome Show and was recently issued a new license, so when you see him, please ask to see it.
