I recently attended Barcamp Boston 4, an “un-conference”. There is a nice mix of discussions and presentations, and covering technical topics as well as the business of technologies.

The big board of sessions

Some of the sessions I was able to attend:

• Good introductory presentation about Git by @qrush
• QR Codes, mostly covering the ZXing project on Android
• Discussions on selling iPhone apps, Drupal development
• Comparing Amazon vs. Google cloud hosting services
• A review of Tools for Ruby development
• Review of three frameworks: django, rails and zends and a discussion on client-side web testing
• Discussions on freelancing, entrepreneurship, and Co-working
• Some microcontroller sessions, mostly around Arduino development
• Got introduced to LOLCode, there really is such a thing..

There was a lot of interesting sessions to take in, definatly worth a try if you haven’t been to one.
