The Journeyman Programmer : Programming - More Than Coding

The Greater Boston Chapter of ACM has an ongoing series called "The Journeyman Programmer".
Their next event is on Saturday May 19th and the URL for it is:
http://www.gbcacm.org/journey/PMTC2012/index.html

This will be a great event to learn as well as to meet peers and network – and is well worth the cost of $30 - and the time spent on attending it.

Programming - A Dream or a Rut?
Coding is the foundation of software development, but is only part of
the story. To move ahead in your career - or to have fun programming -
you need the opportunity to work in areas you like, to try new things,
and to grow professionally and personally.
This can be a challenge - especially if you are working on the same
code day after day. Join us at Harvard and extend your horizons with
this four part session on Programming - More Than Coding.
