Giving back, the workshop way

Re:Giving back, the workshop way by loeschg on Friday March 02, 2012 @10:32AM (#3656889)

I like the article. I'm kind of at that point in my software development career where I have gained enough confidence in my abilities using particular technologies and frameworks that I feel perhaps it's time to start "giving back." I always immediately turn to blog posts as the way to help... I never think to run a workshop. I've enjoyed sharing my knowledge with the few friends and family that have "tech" interests.

Hmm... any people in the DC area want to meet up and talk about Grails?

Hi loeschg.

Thanks so much for your comment. Actually, what your wrote perfectly sums up a point I was trying to get across in the article. I too have reached the point where I want to start giving my knowledge back.

Sharing knowledge is something that's immensely rewarding, whatever form that takes: a chat in a bar, a blog post or a workshop. But, the workshop is by far the most bit of "sharing knowledge" I've ever done.

I wish you good luck finding people to chat about Grails in DC. I'm based in the UK, but if you ever wanna chat over twitter then please gimmie a shout :-)
