The Central Maryland Association of .NET Professionals (CMAP) is holding its Fall 2010 Code Camp on Saturday, November 6th, 2010 at the Loyola University Maryland Graduate Center in Columbia, MD. The Code Camp will run from 8:30am - 5:30pm with 20-25 awesome sessions covering a wide range of database, software and portal development topics. It's totally free. No gimmicks. No sales pitches. Enjoy breakfast and lunch at no charge while you mingle with your peers.

To register for this event, please visit the CMAP Code Camp website (http://www.cmapcodecamp.org) and select the registration menu option.

The goal of Code Camps are to provide an intensive, developer-to-developer learning experience that is fun and technically stimulating. Code Camp is created and run by and for the local community. This is your event. The primary focus is on delivering programming information and sample code that can be used immediately.

CODE CAMP MANIFESTO

BY AND FOR THE DEVELOPER COMMUNITY
Code Camps are about the developer community at large. They are meant to be a place for developers to come and learn from their peers. Topics are always based on community interest and never determined by anyone other than the community.

ALWAYS FREE
Code Camps are always free for attendees.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPED MATERIAL
The success of the Code Camps is that they are based on community content. All content that is delivered is original. All presentation content must be provided completely (including code) without any restriction. If you have content you don't want to share or provide to attendees then the Code Camp is not the place for you.

NO FLUFF ONLY CODE
Code Camps are about showing the code. Refer to rule #1 if you have any questions on this.

COMMUNITY OWNERSHIP
The most important element of the Code Camp is always the developer community. All are welcome to attend and speak and do so without expectation of payment or any other compensation other than their participation in the community.

NEVER OCCUR DURING WORK HOURS
We need to understand that many times people can't leave work for a day or two to attend training or even seminars. The beauty of the Code Camp is that they always occur on weekends.
