Typically on Sunday I do my personal review.
- First a quick review of my previous week, typically giving myself a +1 or -1 if I hit the mark. This week was good and was able to keep working on the message around load testing over at https://www.redline13.com/blog/recent-posts/
- Put together my weekly cheat sheet. Not posting a picture but if we bump into each other this week ask to take a peek, I am always looking for feedback to make it more efficient.
One of the items in my review - checkout out local meet ups in the area over next 2 weeks. I try (try) to get to at least one meet up a week. Why? Meet people, learn something new, and get out of the box.
Thought I would start publishing what I find going on within about 50 miles from Philly which is typically dev, ops, or perhaps startup related. I use meetup.com and eventupon.com to find my event listings. Sometimes I point out some NYC events if they matter to me.
Follow me on twitter or DM via twitter if you want on the mailing list.

Unity is an extremely popular game engine, particularly for small teams. The ability to produce games for almost every conceivable platform allows developers to move quickly and cover all their bases with a single project. If you haven’t worked with Unity before, this workshop will provide an overview of developing games in the Unity workflow, and introduce the basic concepts you need to get started on your own.
