The Power of the Backchannel

Posted by: Nathaniel Schutta on 02/21/2010

Last week, I spoke at the New England Java Users Group, one of the biggest and best around. I had a rocking good time, the audience was outstanding and Dave Klein (author of the outstanding Grails: A Quick-Start Guide) was even there! Anyway, one of the attendees, Deborah Hamill (VP Engineering at Accordare, Inc.), was kind enough to collect up all the links I referenced during the talk – including ones that weren’t even on my slides! Many thanks Deborah, I appreciate it. By the way, said slides can be found here.
