Registration for the Edmonton Code Camp on October 20th is now open! You can sign up here: http://tinyurl.com/2v9pe5 

One of the best things you can do for your career in software development is to invest time in learning new things. If you take 8 hours out of one weekend you will be rewarded when you go to work the following Monday. Most of the presenters that come to code camp try their best to give you something that you can use in the real world.

We are also still looking for some speakers, if you have never spoken in front of an audience before I encourage you to try it out at code camp. Personally I find it a lot easier to talk about something I am familiar with like software development in front of a crowd.  

There also seems to be the perception that code camps are centered entirely around Microsoft technologies, this perception is totally wrong! If you want to come talk about Ruby, Java, Python, Lisp, Erlang, or Haskell feel free to submit a session. We talked about Ruby and the RubyCLR last year and according to inside sources it was what inspired Microsoft to make IronRuby.
