Event Highlights: June 7-13, 2010

It’s cool people. Don’t fret. We’re bringing the Flyers back home for the next one. Chill, dog.
And hell if it isn’t a good time to be in town. Philly Beer week is already raging (if the PBC truck at Liberty Lands park on Saturday was any indication), and there’s some great technology events around town, too. Grab a beer. Head on over to one of the community happenings. And do a night cap from your favorite local brewery.
This week, Twitter’s in town, there’s fun to be had at Agile Philly’s hack night and there’s an evening dedicated to process improvement. We’d make fun of that, but geez, we love productivity as much as the next guy.

Tuesday, June 7th: There ain’t nothin’ like a hack night. Agile Philly’s branded version—Code Kata Night—is all you’d expect from a spontaneous coding fest with all the agile you could ever ask for. 6:30 p.m. University City. RSVP. [view more events]
