It’s nice to live in a place with a thriving developer community and other coders who view software development as craftsmanship.

I also learned what a fishbowl is. Very cool!

This was the second year I attended and I’m already looking forward to next year! Austin Code Camp is an annual event of a full Saturday of .Net-related classes and presentations, all completely free to attendees like myself.

My biggest problem was picking which sessions to attend, or worse, which ones not to attend. :-(

I eventually chose to attend Sneak peek at C# 4.0 by Jimmy Bogard, who gave a similar session about C# 3.0 at last year’s camp, and 2 excellent 2 hour SQL Server sessions by Anil Desai, SQL Server Reporting Services: Report Creation and Deployment and SQL Server Performance Monitoring & Optimization. All 3 sessions were awesome, thanks guys!

Thanks to John Teague, all presenters, the Austin .Net Users Group, the sponsors and everyone else who helped make this event happen!
