I was at the Portland Oregon Code Camp this summer. What a lot of fun! If you haven't been to one yet you really should find time to go. You'll meet a ton of new people and probably will run into someone you know. For example, I got to the Reed College campus early Saturday morning. Set on a of a beautiful tree-lined campus Reed was a perfect place to have a weekend programmer event. As I was walking across campus (more like wandering about looking lost) looking for the registration building I saw a familiar face. Dan Dougherty, from Seattle, was there too. So who's the first person I see 180 miles from home -- a friend from Seattle. Dan helped start the Seattle Visual Basic Developers Association seven years ago and served as an officer and board member for many years.
Come to Code Camp in Seattle
I've been working with a lot of motivated people here in Seattle to get the first Code Camp started. Well, we did it. Code camp will be October 22-23. Find out more or register at http://pacwest.ms/codecamp/sea/1/ Hurry up. Portland filled up very quickly.
Oh, by the way. It's free
