All Day CodeJam
Instructors: Gary Bernhardt, Sarah Dutkiewicz, Joe Fiorini, Corey Haines, John Stockton
Come in and spend all or part of your day cranking out code in a room full of Wicked Smart People. We'll have a server application built and hosted on either a VPC or networked server. You can spend your time cranking out a front end to the app, you can extend the app's functionality, or you can just say "This sucks and I'm rebuilding it from scratch and I'm gonna do it right!" You can work in your own environment, or better yet, do the CodeMash thing and jump off into a new environment. We'll have a number of VPCs set up with all the major development environments. Concerned that you want to jump into a new environment, but won't know how to get started? We'll have experts wandering around the room just waiting to help you out. Why not sit down with someone working in a different environment and pair up with them?
