It’s only a couple weeks until the Michigan Give Camp in Ann Arbor.
I attended the 1st Give Camp in Ann Arbor last year and the Lansing Give Camp earlier this year. I can say without a doubt this is the most rewarding experience you will ever have if you are a developer. You get to spend the entire weekend with other developers, designers and DBAs developing on a project that will benefit not just the non-profit, but the community.
During both Give Camps, I was able to meet new people, speak with others I don’t normally speak to and actually code with them. That’s why I’m excited about the upcoming Michigan Give Camp. I will be able to develop with new individuals and learn a ton from them. When I attended the Lansing Give Camp, I tested out a basic Kanban board after I sat through Tim Wingfield’s (http://twitter.com/timwingfield) Kanban talk and I think the it turned out great. I also learned several web design techniques from David Singer (http://twitter.com/ramaboo).
The Michigan Give Camp will be from July 17th to the 19th at the Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor. If you want to get an idea of some of the individuals attending the event, check out this list of tweeps:
