It's Coming! BOO YA!

Last year I attended WordCamp Atlanta, and Birmingham and had a blast at both. I think I enjoyed the Birmingham WordCamp a bit more simply because it was in the summer time, and it was in another state and I enjoy getting out of here from time to time. The WordCamp Atlanta conference was in January of 2010 and we had a hellish week of snow, ice and bitter effin’ cold that made for a hasteful getaway post conference. One of my favorite things about WordCamps & BarCamps is the after party of getting to know fellow bloggers, web designers and developers.

Having the opportunity to mingle with people IRL (In Real Life) that you know from the interwebs is an awesome experience because it really bonds that connection that you have worked to build online. WordCamp is a conference of WordPress users, developers, and enthusiasts to learn from each other with somewhat formalized sessions that are topic based.

Genius Bar – Another awesome aspect to attending WordCamp is having access to experts. You can walk right up to them to ask a question, open your laptop to show an error or problem, and get instant help from people who have been developing and using this fantabulous web software we call wordPress.

WordCamp – Birmingham

I just wanted to post a quick not to let everyone know about an awesome event happening this coming weekend of September 18th, 2010 in Birmingham, Alabama. Wordcamp is an awesome WordPress conference that draws out people from all areas of development. Beginners, designers, developers and users come together to learn from speakers, exchange knowledge and ideas as well as socialize.

I will be heading out early Saturday morning from Atlanta. It’s not a bad drive. I believe I will be going with Danny Mustafic and staying through Sunday afternoon. I would definitely encourage anyone to go in the area who can make it. It is a really fun event that brings enthusiasts of this fantastic open source platform together. For some useful WordPress plugins that we use when developing sites on WordPress check out my blog article on “Useful and popular WordPress plugins” for some great tools to make your blog or website more extensive.

Here is a great interview “Inspirageek” did with Matt Mullenweg at the WordCamp – Birmingham December 19th, 2009.
