8/8 Saturday.
IDEEA organizes this all day
Code Rush at
Impact Hub in Pioneer Square, Seattle. This is sponsored by Facebook, geared towards Android mobile development. Three 30-minute talks promptly started at 9:30 (few minutes before I arrived from Portland):
Twitter - "Dealing with Unreliable Networks"
Cyanogen - "Cyanogen Platform SDK"
Facebook - "Scaling Android Teams"
Each actually took less time. I thoroughly enjoyed the Facebook talk on good API. 3 kinds of very hot coffee by
Convoy in the morning, soda and chips later. Pizza arrived ~12:30 (really big, 24" boxes and big slices, not the best). Chips shouldn't been brought out before the talks end. It was very noisy. By 11am, challenges (labeled as novice to advance level) from Cyanogen and Facebook were revealed online, and prices to be awarded to the first few submitters with good solutions. Half of the audience disappeared in the afternoon, so was I. When I returned at around 4:30, the main hall appeared to be deserted. There were people coding upstairs. At 5pm, winners were announced. Then most of the tables were removed, and more people left. At 6pm, 3 kegs of beer (IPA, Pale Ale, Red from ) and some cider arrived, so were a few more people for the 2nd part of today's program "Meat and Greet". I got half a glass and seated myself upstairs: more comfortable. Dinner arrived at 6:45. A lot. Provided by Papa Bois (macaroni and cheese, Chipotle chicken) and Cheese Wizards (a food truck, grilled cheese sandwich and salad).
