The last speaker at WordCamp San Francisco 2008 was Kathy Sierra, and her presentation was definitely worth the wait. She spoke about “Kicking Ass and Creating Passionate Users”, and I must say that her presentation was itself “kick ass”.
If you don’t know Kathy, she is the co-creator of the Head First series of books on computer programming, which began with Head First Java.
You may also choose to follow Kathy on Twitter, and I highly recommend a stop by her blog about Creating Passionate Users (though she hasn’t posted there in a while).
Don’t forget that there are about 30 WordCamp videos here now from the last three WordCamp’s I attended, so there is an amazing amount of information if you are just learning WordPress. Specifically there are videos from 2007, and from 2008.
