Codebits 2008 so far
Friday, November 14th, 2008The presentations part of codebits is now closed.
The ones I enjoyed the most were:
- André Luís on Microformats
- Pedro Custódio on Web Forms 101
- Mitch Altman on Making Cool Things with Microcontrollers
As last year, I didn’t stay for the coding contest part, but I sure will be there tomorrow for the final presentation of the projects. It’s refreshing and fun to see what these brilliant people come up with each time.
Here’s the live feed from the event. Take a look. You never know what might happen.

Codebits is right around the corner
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008
13, 14, and 15 November are the dates for this year’s edition of Sapo Codebits. It will take place in LX Factory Alcantara. Maybe I’ll drop by Forum Dança and say hi to my friends there.
I’ve been to Codebits last year, and had a great time. Very good talks, very good company, and a bunch of cool and innovative projects. This year promises to be even better. I’ll sure be there to witness. Are you coming too?
