TechLife Columbus

An Evening of Kibitzing and Coding.

Columbus Code Jam is a casual meetup to pair on cool projects, to get one-on-one guidance from experienced developers & sys admins, to network, learn, and eat pizza.

How often does one need to collect data samples to monitor the performance of an application.

Demonstrating the difference between 'programming' and 'coding' by deriving an algorithm to sort a list of numbers.

Where can an entrepreneur go in Columbus to find technical resources and/or investors.

What additional tools and skills are needed to go from an HTML/CSS/JS prototype to a full-featured application.

How to refactor large methods into several smaller methods in a Rails Model.

What kinds of web site analytics are available for word press sites?

What are some good online resources for a single-founder software startup dealing with marketing and launching software products?
