Skillswap July: Symony: report
August 1, 2007 – 1:25 amDarren Beale did an excellent job giving us all a glimpse of Symony at last week’s Skillswap.
I can’t comment on the elegance of his code or stuff like that because I’m no developer, but, as a facilitator I can say that the audience was absolutely hooked and his live action approach went down exceptionally well; learning definitely occurred.
As I sat at the back and chugged Alex Lightenna Stanhope’s beer (thanks again), I was reminded of watching a craftsman showing a group how to make table legs at last year’s Big Green Gathering; a very delicate combination of explanation and action where you have something that is hard to do which you are trying to do while explaining it (no mean feat). Darren achieved this with much aplomb; good work!
