The best thing about BarCampMumbai so far, has been the interaction. It’s a like a large BoF session. I have already met more geeks here than I meet in a quarter. My intention of coming here is served – meet hackers and geeks. And learn what they are upto. The most common discussions I witnessed have been about RIAs (Rich Internet Applications), comparing BarCamp with the local Linux User Group meets, dearth of good programmers and exciting latest technologies. In between knowledge sharing and pulling another’s leg.
We started around 10. Shantanu had the first session on YubNub. I moved to the next room to setup for my session around 10.50. People started coming in and we began at 11.05. The room was packed and I talked about Building RIAs with OpenLaslzo and Flex. People were interested and asked quite a few questions. I believe some will even consider developing a RIA in near future.
As I write this, Manish is talking about Flex. He is through the initial marketing slides and now on some tech stuff about Flex. So I will drop writing and focus on the talk!
