I had the good fortune to attend the Code4Lib 2015 conference in Portland OR last week. It was a great event as usual, but it’s an event that I don’t always get to attend in person. Does anyone else go through these five stages during the conference? Right, me neither.
- I’m very familiar with all current technologies, but let’s see what others are up to.
- Oh, wait, it turns out that I don’t know anything and don’t belong here.
- Then again, I understood that last presentation and could totally do what they did.
- So now I need to throw out all my code and rewrite my apps using that framework I just heard about for the first time.
- I’m heading over to the Multnomah Whisk{e}y Library, anybody else interested?
