Yesterday I attended the first ever Iowa Code Camp in Iowa City, Iowa. This was the first code camp I had ever attended and that fact withstanding, I don't know how the event could have gone any better, it was absolutely flawless. There were well over 125 attendees and waiting list to boot.
I attended sessions on Java/Hibernate, Inversion of Control, Mocking and .NET Performance Tuning. I enjoyed Derik Whittaker's talk on mocking as it's something I've been into for the last few months.
Talking to other attendees it was very obvious that others enjoyed themselves as well. The feeling was that the materials presented were things we can take into work tomorrow. And that is what a code camp is all about.
Thanks to Chris, Javier, Greg S. Greg W and the many others who helped make yesterday a success, you guys set up a wonderful event!
