Carrboro Creative Coworking

Now there are no more day limits on the Part Time Coworker! For the same price of $100 a month you can use the service all you want during regular business hours. (Monday - Friday 9am - 6pm) This service requires reoccurring billing.

Previously the Part Time Coworker pass had only ten days per $100, aka $10 a day, and the days had to be used within three months. Several people's Part Time days expired before they got a chance to use them. So I came up with this new model.

For less than four dollars a day you get:

• Fast WiFi
• Free Coffee
• Free Events
• Electricity (duh)
• Comfortable and Professional Environment
• Awesome Geek Community
• Free Parking in Downtown Carrboro

Part Time Coworker, $100 per Month

Plus the regular Coworker rate is now $10 a day instead of $30. If you were using the Part Time Coworker, and enjoyed the number of days spread out, now you can purchase them ad hoc. Basically its the old Part Time Coworker.

Also the Office Coworker has no day limits. Four person teams can now save money, and receive more services, by purchasing together. For $300 a month you get four Part Time Coworkers and three hours a month in Conference Room B. This deal requires reoccurring billing.

I want you to work at CCC often. Stop counting the days you have left and get more for your money!

Save money and be more productive in this economy by sharing expenses with others. If you're a small web development company, two to ten people, and are looking for ways to save consider becoming the Carrboro Creative Coworking Resident Team.

Move your team to CCC and see a savings on rent and utilities. Stop worrying about high electric and Internet bills. We'll take care of it and keep the resources flowing. Save your money and time by drinking our free coffee. We have the amenities of big offices like quality conference rooms, free parking, mailboxes, a Nintendo Wii, and VOIP telephone service. (You know gaming is important.)

Plus the Town of Carrboro has great restaurants, bars, and clubs within walking distance of our office. Weaver Street Market is a great example with its good food, outdoor seating, and free WiFi.

Our spaces has a strong meetup schedule with free events every week. People get together here to discuss iphone/Cocoa development, Ruby on Rails, Erlang, and more. Smart and creative techies come from all over the triangle. If you work here they'll be coming to you.

Please contact me if you're interested. Find more about our other services, such as the Part Time Coworker, here.

Info from Blake about the next Cocoa meetup:

Carrboro Cocoa Consortium Meetup
Lightning Talks & Elevator Pitches

When: March 11, 2009 @ 7pm (Doors open @ 6:45)
Where: Carrboro Creative Coworking

As we learned last meet-up, the Triangle is full of talented and inspiring Cocoa developers cranking away on some really cool apps. This meet-up is going to be all about who we are and what we are doing.

Have an app you are developing and want to share it? Got some cool ideas you'd like to start cutting code on? Need a designer, developer or partner in crime to pursue the vision with? Bring you stories, ideas, and friends out to the Cocoa Consortium Wednesday, March 11 and let's have at them. Talks should be relatively short and highly interactive. We want to see your app, play with it and collaborate with you to take it to the next level.

If you are planning to present an app or pitch an idea, please throw a teaser on the group Facebook wall so we have some idea what we'll be working with. After we've worked through the queue of talks, we'll mingle and network until 9pm.

Two hours not enough? Join us at Carrburritos @ 6pm for a burrito and a beer before we head over to CCC to get the meet-up going!

See you soon!

Wondering what the hell Cocoa is? Check out the wikipedia article.

Friday and Saturday we held a Erlang training class called Hands-On Erlang here at CCC. Two people came from South Carolina, several from the Triangle, and one guy from Atlanta. (What is Erlang?)

Friday was incredible. So many people working and learning. This place was realy humming! Coworkers working and programmers learning. Saturday was equally exciting. So cool to see people dedicated to learning. On a weekend even.

A GIANT thanks to Kevin Smith, Erlang Expert and way cool guy, for teaching the class. He really cares about spreading the good word about this powerful programming language. I've really enjoyed working with him these past few months getting the training ready.

Hopefully this summer sometime we'll have another session of Hands on Erlang. I'll let you know as soon as registration is open. Look for several new courses at CCC in the near future.

Last night's iphone/Cocoa meetup was giant! I counted 20 people at one point. A few CCC coworkers and a bunch of guests. Pretty amazing considering it was only promoted a little bit. (By social media standards anyway.)

There was a lot of discussion about the process of getting an iphone app in the iTunes store. Plus some serious talk about the challenges of marketing your app. A bunch of good strategy and practical experiences were shared.

To keep up with crazy developers join their Facebook group called the Carrboro Cocoa Consortium [requires login] or friend their Twitter user @CarrboroCocoa. Dude I'm loving the C's!

This is the bio they wrote for the Facebook page:
The Carrboro Cocoa Consortium is an RTP based group focused on the design, development, and business of Mac OS X & Apple iPhone/iPod applications. Topics range from the exploration of all things Cocoa to the voodoo economics of the App Store. Come join us to learn, network, collaborate... and just maybe build the next killer app.

Thanks to Blake and Jeremy of 3 Cube Technologies for sponsoring this. They were hilarious and brilliant!
