From May 20th through the 23rd, Martine and Michael Dowden were in San Diego for DevOpsCon and the International JavaScript Conference (IJS) by Devmio.
While there, they finally got to meet with client Wes Read, CEO of Practice CFO and PracticeOrbit for the first time, after years of working together remotely. They also finally met Phil Nash, the technical reviewer for their book Architecting CSS. As much as we love remote work and continue to prove how successful it can be, it’s still great to meet people in person whenever possible.
For the welcome reception, they enjoyed a delicious meal at Barbarella Restaurant and Bar, where they got to meet all the other speakers, sponsors, and organizers, after which they walked to La Jolla Shores Beach for a moonlight stroll.
On the second day of DevOpsCon, Michael gave his talk, “Go Live: Releasing Software To Your Users.” During the IJS conference, Michael gave 1 talk, and Martine gave two. Michael’s talk was titled, “Algorithm Design For Web Developers.”
Martine’s first talk that she gave on Tuesday is titled, “JavaScript Promises: You Promised to Callback!” On Wednesday, she gave another presentation: “Popovers, Not Just For Dinner, But For Your Websites Too.”
While in San Diego Martine and Michael enjoyed the beautiful weather, catching up with colleagues, sunny walks, and excellent food.
