Codemash is an annual conference held in Sandusky, Ohio in January.  CodeMash is organized by several volunteers from the professional developer community in the Heartland region who are recognized experts in these different technologies.  Ever since I've discovered this conference and volunteering opportunities, I've highly encouraged my students to attend, network and learn cool stuff.  

Two of my second year Web Dev students volunteered this year and I was fortunate to be able to interview them as they share their experiences and what they've learned.  

One of the things I found most interesting between these students and hopefully you'll notice as well as their differences and their individual strengths and weaknesses show that all types of personalities and experience levels can come into the field of computer science.  

Meet our two students:
