World Famous Ward Bell To Fill In on Windows 8 Track, WinRT with JavaScript

Posted by Peter Kellner on October 4, 2011 @ 10:00 PM

For those who have never met or listened to Ward Bell speak, you are in for a treat at Code Camp this year.  Ward, who is the CTO at IdeaBlade, will be filling in for the Microsoft WinRT guy who could not make it this year unfortunately. Ward’s skills are wide and deep.  At MIX11 this year, Ward had one of the most popular sessions on designing UI’s for the Phone.  Not surprisingly, there are a lot of similarities between programming for Windows 7 Phone’s and programming for Windows 8 Metro.  Come to Wards session and see for yourself.

Code Camp’s First Ever Career Track, Check it out!

Posted by Peter Kellner on September 26, 2011 @ 1:01 PM

We’ve posted our first ever career track this year, aptly titled "Career Track"; sponsored by Lumos Labs and Dice.com. This 8 session track includes one of the most popular sessions titled "How to break into Mobile Development" presented by Leslie Stevens-Huffman, career expert and contributing writer to Dice.com. Leslie has helped thousands of professionals find employment during her lengthy career in the staffing industry.

Another top session will be lead by Elaine Wherry, co-founder of meebo. The effectiveness of her “guerrilla” recruiting approach is evidenced by the caliber of employees meebo has hired. One summer, Elaine and her recruiters wrapped hand-written notes around meebo t-shirts and placed them on every chair in Stanford CS221, asking students to consider meebo as one of their post-graduation company choices. Elaine also wrote a spidering engine to pull JavaScript profiles and resumes from the Web. 

Full Agenda Live on the site now! Over 200 Sessions, 9 time Slots

We have an awesome group of speakers from a wide variety of backgrounds presenting this year. Our topics range from Douglas Crockford, for the 6th year in a row presenting the latest and greatest on JavaScript, Oracle’s latest technology including Java, MySql and TimesTen, Microsoft Latest Windows 8 Metro Application Building with presenters direct from Redmond, all the way to a full career track and patent lawyers talking software! With 210 sessions this year it feels almost overwhelming.

The schedule is live and ready for you to pick the sessions you plan on attending. Keep in mind that now, by default you just see the first Saturday Session when you land on the page. The Navigator at the top of the page lets you look at one time slot at a time. You then pick just the session you plan on attending (and of course you must be logged into your account to select sessions)

A common question we often get before and during code camp is "What happened to session.". Well, now we have all the answers in one place. As the schedule changes (for any reason) we are keeping a log page of those changes here. http://blog.siliconvalley-codecamp.com/session-change-log/

That’s it for now.

First of 5 Tracks Posted to the SVCC site, MOBILE!

Posted by Peter Kellner on September 6, 2011 @ 10:10 AM

We’ve posted our first of five tracks this year. Simply titled "Mobile" and curated by Falafel Software. This track includes one of the most popular sessions titled "The Current State of the Union in Mobile Development" from Lino Tadros, CEO of Falafel. Falafel is the maker of EventBoard, the mobile platform that drives our Silicon Valley Code Camp Mobile application on all three major smart phone platforms, IOS, Android and Windows 7. Another top session is from Lance Bullock on iPhone Development. Many of you may remember Lance’s packed session last year at code camp when we had issues with air conditioning. Over 200 people stayed (including Lance!).

If you have not been back for to the site for a while, please come back and check out our almost 180 sessions as well as the Mobile track. You can find the Mobile track at the url: http://siliconvalley-codecamp.com/Track2011-Mobile . You can quickly sort through all the sessions at code camp as well as click on column headers to sort by visiting the url: http://blog.siliconvalley-codecamp.com/2011/06/11/a-new-page-for-showing-interest-in-sessions-and-counts-up/

Silicon Valley Code Camp is just around the corner! Besides announcing more tracks over the next few days, we will be also putting up the volunteer page again. Keep an eye out for that so if you can help, you make sure you pick the time and job that you are best at.
