That's right! CRIneta.org,
Iowa .NET and
the ITS department at the University of Iowa are joining forces
to bring the first code camp to Iowa on May 3, 2008
at the University of Iowa Conference Center in Iowa City, IA!
You might be asking, what's a code camp? Well, here are some of the basic ideas:
- Community driven
- High quality
- Its for and by developers
- No cost (for attendees)
- All about code, not PowerPoint presentations
- Source code and slides must be available to share with people who attend
- Never during work hours - usually on Saturday
What a code camp is not:
- Corporate product placement
- Marketing
- Powerpoint centric
We are looking for developers who want to tell other developers about cool things they are doing. Topics they really care about. If you are working with .Net, Ruby, PHP, Java, Rails, Python, <fill in the blank> and you want to tell other people about it, then consider submitting a speaking proposal.
If you want to be a speaker, Greg Wilson is who you need to talk to greg-at-solidrockstable-dot-com. Our speaker roster is full, you can submit a session, but it will go on the waitlist.
If you want to help sponsor, contact Javier at javier-at-lozanotek-com.
Let Chris know if you have any other questions at christophersutton-at-yahoo-dot-com.
Remember this an event FOR developers BY developers, so we need you to help us make it succeed!
Our site is IowaCodeCamp.com if you want to keep up with what happens.
