Code Camp II Back In Boston This October

For those who are unaware, Code Camp is a free one-weekend intensive training session sponsored and hosted by the Microsoft - Waltham offices. For one weekend (Saturday and Sunday, so you don't have to be out of the offices), Code Camp provides track-oriented sessions that are really code-intensive and beneficial.

The first Code Camp in Boston earlier this year was a great success. So successful, in fact, that the sequal (Code Camp II) has been scheduled for the weekend of October 16th and 17th! Thom Robbins has posted more information on all of this in his .NET weblog. This page provides links to the current (and ever-growing) list of speakers and sessions, as well as the registration page for the event.

I was looking forward to presenting on Windows Mobile topics under the "Smart Client" track at this Code Camp. Unfortunately, I found out yesterday that the closing date my family's first home purchase (time to grow up, I guess) will be on October 15th. Rather than being the first man to be thrown out of his home before he even officially owns it, I have had to back out of the event. While this is disappointing personally, I know that the event will be a huge success for all of the lucky participants and presenters.

Speaking of presenters - if you are interested in presenting one or more sessions at this upcoming Code Camp, I encourage you to read Thom's post on his "Call For Speakers" and take advantage of the opportunity. I have told Thom that I would gladly offer my support and assistance to any Windows Mobile-oriented presenter; while I cannot be there in body, I can in spirit :-)
