Silicon Valley Code Camp

Code Camp Code Camp
Saturday: (10/05) This weekend was a busy Herd-Of-Nerds weekend. Every year some generous software vendors support a free conference at Foothill College called the Silicon Valley Code Camp.
I have attended a couple of previous events and they are always interesting. They are also free and include lunch. What more could a nerd want.

Code Camp
Programming for Googlecast, also known as Chromecast. TCP/IP Networking for Developers, Create Stunning Data Visualization in HTML5 , Cracking the Coding Interview, and Introduction to the YouTube Api, a variety pack of interesting topics for me today.

Breakfast was some of Dawn’s buck wheat cereal. Lunch was some great Mountain Mike’s pizza at the code camp. Chicken with baked potatoes and a green salad for dinner.

Sunday: (10/06) Another day at camp today. Subjects today were Intellectual Property Protection, 10 Things All Developers Should Know, Making HTML5 coding faster, and NetFlix Open Source Software. All very interesting. It’s really hard to select from the long list of sessions each day. This is always fun but it makes for a long weekend and some thinking, which I usually try to avoid.

For breakfast I made some ham , eggs and potatoes. For lunch I had some more Mountain Mike’s pizza at the code camp. For dinner we took Courtney out to the Crepevine Restaurant downtown. We had their savory crepes then took a walk around town. We were celebrating Courtney’s new job and Insurance License.
