A new event takes place this July in the mountains of Colorado: we
decided to call it "Programming Summer Camp" because we're emphasizing
outdoor activities in the morning, and programming activities in the
afternoon (when the thunderstorms usually happen).
This is a very casual, leaderless & lectureless gathering, which
follows the style of the afternoon "Coding Rodeos" that formed during
the Java Posse Roundup -- those were organized by attendees who were
interested in exploring a subject with others, but were not
necessarily experts in the topic. This takes that idea and extends it
for five days.
Currently we have a group for Scala, including Dick Wall, Bill Venners
(coauthor of "Programming in Scala"), Dianne Marsh (coathor of "Scala
Koans"), James Ward and myself, but we have room for at least two or
three other topic groups (we're calling them "campsites").
This event will just cover costs, so there's a low fee of $200 for
registration.
