Silicon Valley CodeCamp on October 27-28
So, you might be wondering, what is a code camp, and what does it cost? Well, it's completely free and completely staffed by volunteers. It's a place you can share your passion for technology with others like yourself, it's a place you can give a presentation on your favorite topic to a receptive audience, as well as go to sessions by others who want to share the knowledge. Typically, there are sessions on all kinds of technologies like Java, Ruby, Python, JavaScript, Microsoft's latest stuff, and even more programming technologies. It's basically formatted like a 1 day JavaOne style event where sessions are pre-arranged and you just choose what interests you. Session submissions are closed a week before the event so you know what you'll be in for ahead of time and you can plan. —  Van Riper
