Silicon Valley Code Camp 2008 November 8, 2008

Code Camp is a new type of community event where developers learn from fellow developers. All are welcome to attend and speak. The Code Camp Manifesto consists of six points:

* by and for the developer community
* always free
* community developed material
* no fluff – only code
* community ownership
* never occur during working hours

Sessions will range from informal “chalk talks” to presentations. There will be a mix of presenters, some experienced folks, for some it may be their first opportunity to speak in public. And we are expecting to see people from throughout the Northern California region and beyond.

There are more than 90 sessions submitted and more than 600 developers registered to attend already. Free advance registration will be open right up until the event, but, the deadline for session submission is coming up on October 16th. You can follow the latest news about this camp on Twitter:

Thanks to generous sponsor support for this year's camp, we will be having a BBQ on Saturday evening in addition to free lunch both days. There are still corporate sponsorship opportunities available starting from as little as $250:
