Southwest Fox 2009

In my previous post, I thanked all folks that I met at Southwest Fox 2009.

Now, I will try to show you in a few words why this conference exceeded all my expectations…

  • The best speakers in the world;
  • Sessions start and end without delay;
  • Everything is very well organized;
  • A lot of stuff: a bag with shirts, name badge, pens, a binder with a printed copy of the Conference Guide and a CD with all the speakers materials including slides, white papers and samples;
  • A chance to express your opinion filling the evaluation forms;
  • Buy printed copies of useful books for a cheap price;
  • A lot of door prizes;
  • Free wireless Internet access;
  • Good meal;
  • Comfortable accommodations;
  • Nice weather (warm and dry);
  • To meet some folks in person;
  • And last, but not least important: cool attendees!

You’re still not convinced that Southwest Fox really rocks?

Take a look at the following pictures that I took during the conference and start to think about to attend Southwest Fox next year.

And, of course, the attack on Doug Hennig by Craig Boyd and his gang was hilarious.

A little constructive criticism: was a little disappointed that some of the speakers were not up to date on some of the available tools.  For example, Calvin's multi-threading class posted in his blog is a topic that should be covered thoroughly.  The speaker completely ignored that and used a technique for simulated multi-threading that would have been appropriate 5-10 years ago!!
Also, more coverage of Open Source tools rather than just the small world of VFPx would have been nice..

What do you think?
