First Philadelphia Code Camp completed!
This was a great event, and everyone involved made it a huge success. There were a few minor glitches with setup and logistics on the first morning, and no one remembered to check to see if the A/C stayed on after 6pm (it didn't, and it got hot!), but nothing detracted from the tremendous buzz at this Code Camp.
Hats off to all the speakers, and the track leads - who were also speakers, but who took the time to manage the other speakers in their track. Bill Wolff did a fantastic job on the website, especially with the speakers page, which had a very professional look - including speaker pictures and bios, and the sessions page, which included session overviews, and even links to the session materials.
The speakers themselves were awesome, and it was a great mix of well-known speakers and local developers who were fairly new to presenting at events like this. It really showed that any local developer who has an interest can get involved, and I'm hoping that many more will step forward as we have more Code Camp's so we can them run tracks and give talks to their peers.
Great job everyone, and I hope to see all of you at the upcoming Code Camps!
