Why Limited NY/NJ Metro Code Camps

Code Camp Schedule.

For being the most populated region in the country, it never ceases to amaze me the limited communal aspect of developers and things like code camps.  It seems as if the NY/NJ metro region falls short in both hosting and providing .NET related conferences, etc.

Honestly, coming from the state where the light bulb was invented, AT&T labs, and all the high-tech over the years, It’s amazing.

It’s time to start looking to move….  Preferably to a warmer climate.

Hi!

I was searching the blogs - researching for my daily podcast at http://www.sswug.org/sswugradio - and I came across your post.

Did you know that NYC just had a huge Code Camp not even two months ago?

I was just at the MS office in NYC last Thursday and they had over 100 people in attendance for the local .Net User Group mtg??

North Jersey just started a new SQL Server User Group.

Send me an email and I can get you more resources.

Have a good day,

Looking over the list of code camps, the New York metro area seems to be keeping up. We had a code camp in NJ (Oct. 05), NYC (Feb. 06), and have a code camp scheduled for NJ (Jun 06). I'm involved with 5 user groups that are all thriving. Maybe you're just fed up with the crappy winters?
