code4lib, day 2, part 1 (keynote talk) 2006 February 16
Day 2 of code4lib started out with a keynote talk by Thom Hickey of OCLC. One thing he pointed out is that you can make a lot of small programs in the time you can do one large project. I think his point was that you should try this small projects so you can get some successful applications running. In other words, try lots of small projects and some will work! Don’t be afraid of failure. I plan on trying to take this advice and start looking into more smaller programs I can work on that will give more more immediate results.
