The Fifth Annual Toronto Code Camp, a free .NET community sponsored event, will be held on May 1st, 2010! Our last event was a huge success with over 350 attendees and 25 sessions. This year we have moved to a new venue at Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology. This has allowed us to offer more content to the attendees of the Code Camp. We will be offering 40 sessions (that’s 60% more) this year.
Come join us for the 2nd annual Toronto Code Camp After Party - You can register on the Code Camp website.
Are there any gamers out there? Our of our Platinum contributors, Ektron, has graciously donated a Xbox 360 for us to give away at the Code Camp.
The start time for the Toronto Code Camp and all sessions has been pushed ahead by 30 minutes to accommodate attendees that are using public transit.

The answer is actually very simple. A Code Camp must follow these rules:
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 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.
