Denver's No Fluff Just Stuff begins today Denver's No Fluff Just Stuff begins at noon today. I'm pumped since I've tried to go the last two and never made it. It looks to be a very fun weekend with lots of knowledge stuffed in my brain that I'm sure to forget in a week or two.Anyone got any suggestions on sessions to attend? If prefer sessions that have interesting topics and good speakers - but I'm open to anything. I plan to go with the flow moreso than to try and learn everything I can.

Speakers I'm looking forward to: Brian Boelsterli and Rick Hightower. Brian is a mentor of mine that I first met in May 2001. We commuted together for 6 months and I learned a lot about independent consulting, fatherhood and agile development from him. Rick is also a good friend and of course I'm gonna be interested in his talk on AppFuse! Posted in Java at May 21 2004, 05:43:22 AM MDT 5 Comments

That's the worst thing about the NFJS conf's..... it's hard to pick which sessions to attend! I've seen Craig Walls speak recently in Dallas on both XDoclet and Spring and he does a good job. I think Glen Vanderburg is an excellent speaker on any topic. Bruce Tate is very good, but I think he doesn't get into enough details sometimes. I'm looking forward to NFJS coming to Dallas in Sept.

I'm catching the plane first thing tomorrow morning for Denver. I'm humbled that Erik thinks I did a good job on my Spring talk--I thought I did a horrible job because it was uncomfortably hot in the room and other factors. I promise my Spring talk in Denver is going to be significantly better.

I've greatly enjoyed reading Matt's blog. I look forward to meeting you in person in Denver. I'll understand, though, if you go to Rick's AppFuse talk instead of my Spring talk. I wish I could go to Rick's AppFuse talk! :-)

Hi Matt. Make sure and also catch any talks by Stuart Halloway, Dave Thomas and Richard Monson-Haefel. I attended my 2nd nfjs earlier this year and made it a point to find any talks by Stuart Halloway and Dave Thomas ended up having an awesome time. Have a great time --Vinny

I will be looking forward to your review of NFJS after the weekend is over. I am registered for the Phoenix symposium in July and would greatly welcome any feedback on sessions and speakers to catch. Enjoy the knowledge-full weekend.
