Portland Code Camp Wrapup
I So this post is a little long in coming, but better late than never I guess. I had a great time going up to Portland to speak and attend the Portland Code Camp. There was a bunch of great things about the Code Camp, but I wanted to highlight some of them:
- Great Leadership Team - Jason Mauer and the rest of the team up there put together a great lineup of sessions and speakers.
- Awesome Attendees - There was a great group of people that I got to meet during the sessions, lunch, and the Geek Dinner
- Very Nice Facilities - The Code Camp was held on the campus of Washington State University in Vancouver. The campus was absolutely beautiful and the facilities were fantastic both as an attendee as a speaker. A big thanks to the University for being a great supporter of the Code Camp.
- Geek Dinner - We had a great time on Saturday night at The Kennedy School. It was quite unique to be drinking at a former grade school. They had good food and drink (just avoid the Ruby beer) and the company for the evening was great.
I had a great crowd for the both the T-SQL Talk and the SQL CLR were both great and we had good discussions in each of the sessions. It was good to see a lot of interest in SQL Server and also the other great SQL Server sessions that were at the Code Camp. I have uploaded the slides and code samples from both of my talks and you can download them from HERE.
I would like to give a big round of applause to everyone involved in organizing the Portland Code Camp and also to the great attendees. Makes me even more excited for San Diego Code Camp!
