The Silicon Valley Code Camp Package! Important PDFs and instructions enclosed

Posted by Tammy Baker on October 8, 2010 @ 7:08 AM

With just two day until Code Camp, things are really coming together; at last count, we have 196 presentations and 2,729 registered attendees! Registration starts at 8:30 AM Saturday morning. Parking Lots #4, #5 and #6 are paid for by our sponsors so you do not need to pay $2 in those lots. All other parking at Foothill requires a fee. Follow the signs to the registration desk to pick-up your name badge and Saturday Lunch ticket.

A map of both the campus and the classrooms is located here http://www.foothill.edu/news/mainmaps.html as well as on the back of your conference badge you pick up at registration. Also, please remember that the beltway around Foothill College is one-way so if you pass us, keep going around the circle and come back.

We will have printed copies of the schedule, but you can help us out by printing the following PDF files, which contain the session schedules for both Saturday & Sunday to bring with you.

Please remember to provide feedback after each session by visiting the Sessions Page on the web site and choosing Session Evaluation on the lower right of each session description (see the 4th pdf above ending in extras).

See you Very Soon!

IPhone Agenda/Session/Speaker Viewer Available for Silicon Valley Code Camp From Falafel!

Posted by Peter Kellner on October 5, 2010 @ 7:03 AM

Two months ago, Lino Tadros, CEO of Falafel Software, one of our Platinum sponsors called me and said “Peter, how would you like to have a fully functional IPhone and Windows 7 Phone application working for this year’s Code Camp?”.  Of course I said I’d love that!  But, I have to say, what I love even more is that’s practically all I had to say.  Between Lino, John and Lance at Falafel, the program practically magically appeared.  I did have to do some feed wrangling to give them the data but nothing compared to what an awesome app we have.  I love it and I’m sure you will too.

You can find it at the app store at this URL: http://www.itunes.com/apps/siliconvalleycodecampviewer. If you forget, you can always search for Falafel Software or just Falafel and you’ll see it among the other applications they have done.   If you want to hear from the guys at Falafel at Code Camp, they are doing 22 sessions between them.  We are very proud to have Falafel contributing to our event.

Checkout What Sessions are HOT by Number People Interested!

Posted by Peter Kellner on July 20, 2010 @ 8:45 PM

Now that we’ve got over 100 sessions up on the site and over 600 people registered, it’s starting to get interesting to see what the hot sessions are.  If you go to the sessions page now, you can see how many people have registered interest in different sessions. 

For example,  Douglas Crockford, back for his 5th year already has 106 people indicating they want to see him and his session on JavaScript.

If you go to the session page, you’ll see all sessions with their interest level just like this:

If you log into the site with your registered name, you can go and click the radio button “Interested” next to each session you wish to let us know you are interested in. 

Several people have asked why they can not press “Will Attend”.  Well, the reason is we don’t enable that until we’ve made our final schedule with room assignments.  At that time, we will enable that button (and disable the Interested radio button).  We also only let you chose one at a give time slot.  That doesn’t mean you can’t go to another session, it just means that we want to know where you will likely go for room size planning purposes.

Also, a side note is that when you select that you are interested, you get no feedback besides the radio button is checked.  We don’t update the number until after you refresh the page.  This makes selecting sessions very quick, but possibly a little confusing.  Hopefully, we’ll fix that in an upcoming release.

See you at Camp!
