Last week, I was invited to speak at develop.Idaho 2011, the first annual gathering for Boise’s software community. From my perspective, the event was terrific as these things go. I saw lots of old friends and I was very encouraged by how many new (and younger!) faces I saw as 250 people showed up for this inaugural gathering hosted by the Idaho Technology Council. The organizers even got Frank Gruber to bring his nationally renowned Tech Cocktail to town for it. Judging by my straw poll at the beginning of my talk, more than half of the attendees were either software developers or students. Now that’s an audience I can get excited about.
