For the seventh consecutive year Stout sponsored the CodeMash software developer’s conference held in Sandusky, OH. This was another record setting year for CodeMash with another sellout attendance.
As in past years, Stout’s booth was visited by hundreds of our software industry colleagues which included over 300 prospective employment opportunity seekers. Our swag was in high demand and our Dr. Who talking Dalek was one of the hits at the end of conference giveaway session.
We congratulate the conference organizers for another big-time success.
Thank you to everyone that stopped by to see us and for your interest in Stout. We will see you at CodeMash next year!
For the sixth consecutive year Stout sponsored the CodeMash software developer’s conference in Sandusky, OH. CodeMash v2.0.1.2 was held January 11-13 at the Kalahari resort.
Stout’s booth was the scene of constant high activity as we were visited by literally hundreds of our colleagues and employment opportunity seekers.
Our swag was in high demand, particularly the prime item: Apple TV won by CodeMash attendee John Svinicki in a random drawing.
This was another record setting year for CodeMash with 1400 attendees. We congratulate the conference organizers for another wildly successful event!

Yet again, the CodeMash crew has surpassed itself. The conference was bursting at the seams with more attendees, more sessions and more fun than ever.
We had a lot of traffic at our booth and were glad to shake hands with as many members of the software community as we could.

One of the most exciting events at CodeMash was the Stout Software Smackdown—20 minutes of pulse pounding software development.

And the winner is…
Bryan Boettcher
He used C# and Winforms to solve the Smackdown.
He was acknowledged by thunderous applause.

A special thanks to JetBrains for providing us with the prize: a personal license for any one of their great software products!
