Kyle Cordes was on hand at the St. Louis JUG meeting this evening to get the word out about a novel concept of a conference—Saint Louis Code Camp.

What is a Code Camp? If you haven't had the pleasure of experiencing a Code Camp first hand, check out the Code Camp Wiki. In particular, you should read the Code Camp Manifesto.

Back? Great. Now, perhaps you are wondering, what does this have to do with me? You could also be wondering why you haven't been to a Code Camp and how you too can have a Code Camp. I have great news. Code Camp has come to St. Louis! Now, you have a Code Camp. Even better, you can help make the St. Louis Code Camp great by attending, by volunteering, or - even better - by signing up to be a presenter.

The St. Louis Code Camp is first and foremost about the community. It is the perfect opportunity to start your career as a presenter, or just hang out with a bunch of people like yourself. And best of all, just like the Manifesto says, it is free. We look forward to seeing you there.

The St. Louis Code Camp is organized by Brian Button. It will happen on May 6th and 7th. It's free, but registration is required.
