# Meet: Portland Coders’ Bash 2007

In which language do you code? Ruby? PHP? Perl? C#? SQL? HTML? BASIC? COBOL? VAX/VMS? Something more obscure than that?

Tell you what, it doesn’t really matter. You could code in VisualBasic for Applications or Actionscript for all I care.

Why? Because a coder is a coder is a coder. Call yourself an engineer or developer or coder or whatever. We’re all the same.

And that’s why it’s so cool to stumble upon something like the [Portland Coders’ Bash](http://pdxgroups.pbwiki.org/2007%20December%20Coders%20Social "Portland Coders Bash"). It’s an event where any coder, regardless of language, can get together with other coders.

> This December Multiple Portland programming users groups are going to combine meeting into on large meeting. This will be a socializing, festive atmosphere meant to allow the local group members to get to know each other a bit better.

The event is planned for December 11 at [CubeSpace](http://www.cubespacepdx.com/ "CubeSpace"). For more information, see the see the [PDX Groups wiki](http://pdxgroups.pbwiki.org/2007%20December%20Coders%20Social "PDX Groups wiki").
