Yesterday I went to the very first edition of Montreal on Rails in the beautiful McGill University.

It’s good to see the community growing but I’ve been told that it’s still quite small in Montreal. Last year, I went to Paris on Rails and the community was already strong. I would have though that Montreal [...]

Yesterday morning, I had the chance to attend the 5th Montreal Tech Entrepreneur Breakfast at Bistro, Etc in Montreal downtown — it’s a monthly gathering of local technology entrepreneurs and enthusiasts initiated by Ben Yoskovitz, co-founder of StandoutJobs.

The Apple Expo is not an event for geeks and it has nothing to compare with [...]

Lisp conference from Franz Inc. at the University of Bordeaux in France. It was mostly about web programming with Common Lisp and about Webactions, a framework for building web applications. Charles Cox made a great live demo showing the dynamic features of Common Lisp like modifying the web application while it’s running!

There I met Celine [...]
