So I went to VGXPO / Game Career Seminar in Philly with Darius last weekend, and because another speaker got sick, I actually ended up giving an “Intro to Programming” type talk to the attendees (with about an hour of prep time). I actually really enjoyed giving the talk, even with the short amount of prep, and wanted to thank Jane for the opportunity. Although I may post the slides for the talk (if I can ever get them from Coray), they’re pretty useless without the notes, which I didn’t have time to write. If I get the presentation, I’ll try to add them before positing it.

Probably the coolest thing to hear at the conference though was the positive response from my “Choosing a School” article, especially from students in all stages of education (from high school to college graduates) and from people like Rob Catto, from Full Sail. I meant the article to be as “unbiased” as possible, although I certainly have a bias towards liberal arts degrees, and hearing from students and game school professors that the article was good makes me think I definitely hit the mark, and that’s always encouraging.
