What is BarCamp?
According to Wikipedia, Barcamp is “…an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — often focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats.”
BarCamp is an open-format conference where the attendees are the presenters. Our subject matter will be directly tied to what ideas people bring to share with the community. Most of the rooms at UArts are equipped with projectors if participants would like to give a slide presentation. Discussion groups, round tables, Q&A, brainstorming together are also options.
Our second 2009 Code Camp will be held at the DeVry University campus in Fort Washington, PA on Saturday, October 17 from 8:30-5:00.
Lots of code, just say no to slides! 8 hours 60 sessions (8:30, 10:00, 12:30, 2:00, 3:30) 12 tracks including two hands-on Beginner rooms and the Bonus Track 600 seats with tables (laptops welcome) Free breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snack (expanded menu!) Raffles and prizes at 5:00 Easy parking After hours party in Ambler (network with speakers and attendees) All of this is made possible by our Gold partners (Component One, Hosting.com, TEK Systems), Silver partners (Pearson, Redgate, Telerik) and our Platinum site sponsors (DeVry University, Microsoft).
