Unexpected!

I've been a full-time professional programmer for over 15 years now, but I've never been to a programming conference of any sort. But I just signed up for Stack Overflow DevDays in Toronto. There's a decent chance I'll learn something useful there, a chance to network, it's dirt cheap, and best of all, it's in Toronto on a Friday! Which means in the worst case, I have a deductible trip that will let me hit the Thursday night Irish traditional music session at Dora Keogh.
