For those of you not following @umbraco on twitter (why not?), Niels has just announced that the registrations are open for Codegarden 2009 in Copenhagen!

Codegarden 2009 is now open for registrations, and with a very generous €150 off the price for early registration (before March 31st). I went last year to my first Codegarden, and it was excellent. A nicer bunch of folk is hard to meet, and I made some solid friends there who I'm looking forward to seeing again this year.

But of course the focus is Umbraco, and as a freelance Umbraco developer going to Codegarden was probably one of the best decisions I made in my first year of business. Armed with a box of business cards, I made some excellent connections and of course I learned a hell of a lot about Umbraco. It just went 'click!' in my brain as I saw what people were doing with Umbraco for their sites - and I could then do for my clients.

Anyway, I think it's obvious that I highly recommend a trip to Copenhagen. It's June 22nd and 23rd, and it's going to be great. See you there?
