Cool talk alert: What can devs learn from the great outdoors?

In seeking great ideas, it can help to look at how people in other disciplines are doing things. In some cases, going for a hike also helps.

Both will be in play at this week’s DC PHP Developers meetup.

On Wednesday, June 14, at Canvas Co/work, John Bafford will talk “Hiking and Hacking: Two Sides of the Same Coin.” Hiking the Appalachian Trail is a feat that’s probably worth a talk on its own. Bafford found there was lots to apply for technologists, as well.

“While hiking the 2,200-mile long Appalachian Trail, I realized that planning and executing a long-distance hike involves many of the same skills and challenges as developing software,” Bafford wrote on the event’s Meetup page.
