What is it all about?

CodeCamp is worldwide event organized with "By and For the developer community" motto.

From the very beginning, Code Camp is being organized by hotheads and for hotheads, gathered in so-called. "developer community". The main idea is to deliver a place for whole community, where people can share their knowledge.

Simple idea - incredible results. Nowadays Code Camp events are set up in different cities all over the world.

The question is what makes a Code Camp?

In order to use the official Code Camp name and banner follow these simple protocols.

1. 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.

2. Always Free

Code Camps are always free for attendees.

3. 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.

4. No Fluff – only Code

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.

5. 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.
