: REAL World 2006

Excellent conference. It’s so inspiring. It made me want to do more programming. So many brilliant people doing so many exciting things! It’s just wonderful. In the keynote we heard about a couple guys who are building an entry to the DARPA Grand Challenge — that’s where you build an autonomous vehicle that can drive itself with no human control. Their entry has a budget of ten grand and the two guys are writing all their software in REALbasic. This to compete with university and other research labs with budgets in the millions! And already it looks like these two guys, in just a few months, are going to be very competitive. Really cool story.
