Nashville’s 2009 Software Programmer of the Year: Chip Hayner
Our Director of Technology Chip Hayner was named the Software Programmer of the Year by the Nashville Technology Council at an award reception this past Tuesday. The picture is of perhaps one of the coolest trophies we have ever seen: a custom designed Gibson/Epiphone electric guitar!
CentreSource Interactive Agency was honored with four total nominations, including Technology Organization of the Year, Innovator of the Year for our Founder/CEO Nicholas Holland, who also earned a nomination for the Lifetime Achievement Award. Our hats are off to all of the nominees and winners for the work they do to make this an incredible city with a thriving technology community.

CentreSource is once again sponsoring the midstate’s leading tech-driven “unconference,” BarCamp Nashville. This free event will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday, October 17 at the Cadillac Ranch on Broadway in downtown Nashville (map).

We are also very proud that several of our team members will be presenting at this year’s event:
- Nicholas Holland - From Cave Walls to Facebook Walls
- Chip Hayner - Choosing the Right Tool for the Job
Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce kicks off the 2009 BELONG Campaign
In business, making the right connections is a vital part of growing the company and being successful. That is why CentreSource has been a proud member of the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce every year since 2004. Our membership has allowed us to grow as a company and make many of the connections that have brought us to where we are today. We have taken the extra step to become a Corporate member so that we can get even more out of our membership by traveling on research trips to other North American cities and participate in roundtable discussions and on task forces.

It probably comes as little surprise that our team members are very attached to our mobile devices. A quick look around the office turns up at least a dozen iPhones and Blackberries. Yes, we are very up on the latest trends in mobile computing. But what you do not know is that many of our employees lead a double life as an elite group of assassins for hire!
Nashville Symfony Users Group - Extending Symfony Routing and More!
On Thursday, the Nashville Symfony Users Group met in the Centresource conference room to discuss the extension of the Symfony routing framework. I lead the talk, but it did not take long for the presentation to become a round table discussion, with everyone contributing their own thoughts and snippets of Symfony wisdom. Overall, the session was a lot of fun. You can view the slideshow from the presentation here.
Doctrine 2.0 was also discussed. We are hoping for a more complete presentation from Jon Wage next month. Keep your fingers crossed!
