It was a pleasure to both attend and speak at Austin Code Camp this year. I couldn’t possibly have had a better response to my first talk, “Seven Soft Skills for Super Sexy Salaries”! If you attended my first talk, thank you so much for all of the positive feedback, and all of the great questions!

Whoops!

Unfortunately, I experienced some technical difficulties whilst giving my second talk, “Let’s create a programming language!”. Because of that, I will be recording and uploading the presentation over the next couple days.

For the curious, ANTLRWorks was invoking javac, which in turn failed with javac: file not found: <path-to-file>. Of course, the file that javac was complaining about was generated by ANTLRWorks and was there, in plain sight. Something was utterly confused. I rebooted and, like magic, ANTLRWorks was working fine…

Note to self: when preparing a presentation, use the same computer you plan to bring with you – crazy shit happens!
