The West Coast Community LeaderShip Summit is a one day unconference scheduled for January 9, 2010, at DeVry University in Daly City.
The Oracle Technology Network is on board as a sponsor and it is expected that representatives from the leadership of all the local JUGs will be in attendance too.
That evening, Ignite CLS West will take place at the Google office in downtown San Francisco.
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

He advocates using realistic API simulation at scale, supported by contract testing , API observability, and GenAI integration. Learn to compose observations, simulations, and contracts to maximize confidence and reduce the toil of maintaining realistic, up-to-date mocks.
