Code Camps have been taking place all over the country. This is a free, one-day event
put on by the local Phoenix community to help promote software development in
general. There is no right or wrong language, platform, or
technology. If a topic relates in any way to the code that causes a
machine to produce a desired result, it's welcome here.
Our Code Camp will be held at DeVry in
Phoenix. We have local presenters from the community who will share their
technical expertise. We also open the floor for you to make suggestions for
sessions, and deliver them if you'd like.
The Schedule
This is subject to change, but will give you a feel for what to expect at Desert Code Camp. If you log in then all your selected sessions
will be highlighted, and you'll be able to easily change what you're
registered for with checkboxes.
The bar chart shows how full a particular session is. Note that some
sessions have only recently been added, and seating capacity is not the same
for every room, so the bar chart can't be used as an indicator of overall
popularity for any session. It is there just so folks can get an idea of how
much room there is left in any given session.
What is Code Camp?
The answer is actually simple. In order to use the official Code Camp name we
follow these simple protocols:
-
By and For the Developer Community
Code Camps are about the developer community at large. They are meant to be a
place for developers to come and learn from their peers. Topics are always
based on community interest and never determined by anyone other than the
community.
-
Always Free
Code Camps are always free for attendees.
-
Community Developed Material
The success of the Code Camps is that they are based on community content. All
content that is delivered is original. All presentation content must be
provided completely (including code) without any restriction. If you have
content you don’t want to share or provide to attendees then the Code Camp is
not the place for you.
-
No Fluff – only Code
Code Camps are about showing the code. Refer to rule #1 if you have any
questions on this.
-
Community Ownership
The most important element of the Code Camp is always the developer community.
All are welcome to attend and speak and do so without expectation of payment or
any other compensation other than their participation in the community.
-
Never occur during work hours
We need to understand that many times people can’t leave work for a
day or two to attend training or even seminars. The beauty of the Code Camp is
that they always occur on weekends.
