Vermont Code Camp this Weekend!

Friday, September 11 2009 - VTdotNetFeed

After years of dreaming about having a Code Camp in Vermont, it is finally happening TOMORROW!

www.vtdotnet.org/codecamp

We currently have ONE HUNDRED people registered which is surprising for our market.

The fact that we have a number of technologies represented, not just .NET has something to do with this since we are drawing from many communities. There are sessions on .NET, PHP, Ruby, SQL Server, Joomla, Django and more. There are also session on architecture and best practices. The list is below and you can see the schedule here.

Thanks to University of Vermont School of Business Administration for providing us with our facility

We have food food food.

Breakfast: Coffee and bagels/pastries sponsored by Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. GMCR is hiring and their HR person will be there!

Lunch: Lunch is sponsored by MyWebGrocer. Guess who else is growing! You can find Rob Hale if you want to learn about what a great place it is to work.

Afternoon Snacks: Yes snacks. Cookies, brownies and even veggies & dip (aka crudités) is being provided by Microsoft.

There will be THREE session rooms and SIX session slots, plus one extra talk during the day. That’s NINETEEN sessions!

We also have gobs of stuff to give away thanks to the following supporters:

O'Reilly Media & Pearson (A-W, Sams & more), Wiley/Wrox and David & Julie Yack for providing books
telerik, DevExpress, TechSmith & JetBrains for software licenses & swag
Pluralsight for Pluralsight On-Demand! trials for all attendees plus a one year subscription to raffle
aspNetPro and CODE for magazines
