Back in June of 2017, I spoke at Code PaLOUsa over lunch, prior to the keynote. At first, I struggled to find something what I really wanted to say that could prompt everyone to think, yet be true to me. After a few days of deliberation with colleagues I was still undecided. I had a few ideas, but they felt…

Takeaways From Code PaLOUsa 2017 For All Attendees
Code PaLOUsa 2017 I’ve been going to Code PaLOUsa for the past five or six years now and had the chance to speak there several years as well. Chances are you may not even know what Code PaLOUsa is, well it’s “software development madness” just like http://codepalousa.com says! Code PaLOUsa is a yearly developer conference in Louisville, KY. If you missed this…
NativeScript Tweet Bot
I’ve spent the last month building workshop and presentation content for Music City Code, held in Nashville, TN. I spoke about NativeScript throughout the conference, met a ton of new friends, and had fun building apps, and automated products. One of the products of my preparations is a cool side project I call the NativeScript tweet bot. 6 Minute Mobile Apps…
An Early Second Day at Code PaLOUsa

My team at KiZAN is headed to Code PaLOUsa instead, and exciting things are happening at Code PaLOUsa again this year. Code PaLOUsa is software development madness. Once…
Dog Food Con 2015
I’ve spent the last two days in Columbus, OH at Dog Food Con 2015 and had a great time. I met a lot of Developers and IT Professionals from all over the midwest – Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and Kentucky. In addition to networking and getting my hard-core geek on while playing Geek Out! on Wednesday evening, I’m happy to have presented on…
BUILD Recap – Day 2
Keynote The day 2 keynote was not as exciting as the day 1 keynote – no Satya, no Gu, no Hanselman. But don’t get me wrong – there was still some excitement in the air. We got another glimpse of the HoloLens, but also got a look at a lot more code. There was an extended session on building Windows…
Conference Season
Conference season has arrived for the Brosteins. I am starting the season off at Microsoft’s BUILD conference in San Francisco, and Nick is gearing up for CodePaLOUsa in Louisville. Although I’m disappointed I’ll miss CodePaLOUsa this year (it’s my first year missing my hometown favorite), I am excited about BUILD. I’ve taken a few days prior to BUILD to visit…
