Command-Line Kung Fu: White Belt by Hal Pomeranz I really enjoyed this talk. I have enough knowledge of the command line to understand most of it and was able to learn some great tips and tricks. Granted, there were parts that were over my head, I made a list of command I don’t know so I can further my knowledge on my own. I would recommend taking courses from Hal to anyone, he has a great wit and ability to not talk over your head.

Project Management should be boring by Chromatic X
Chromatic is my hero. He understands and can explain project management like no-one I know. He focused on agile development methods. I find standard project management theories really don’t work for software/web development. I am a huge fan of agile methodologies and hope to apply more and more to my own life.

“M” is for Manual: Creating documentation for your project by Paul Frileds
I was hoping this talk would focus on exactly what to document and when, however, it was more about open source tools that are available for use in writing documentation. All good stuff and I will certainly refer to the wiki notes on this one when I need to write documentation again.

I am passing on the unconference sessions tomorrow, due to still being in recovery mode from foot surgery.
