Portland CodeCamp and SQLSaturday Combine Events in 2010


Portland Code Camp and SQLSaturday Portland are pleased to announce
that these events will join together on Saturday, May 22, 2010 at the
University of Portland. These free, community-driven mini-conferences
emphasize learning through sharing among the local development
community, and have become quite popular in the Portland area. Having
the events at the same venue at the same time will allow participants
to explore a greater variety of topics.

Portland CodeCamp has traditionally been an event where software
developers working with the Microsoft stack of development tools could
attend sessions and network amongst their peers. SQLSaturday started
as an event where SQL Server DBAs could attend sessions, network, and
expand their knowledge of the SQL Server environment. The realities of
the larger development community are that no single product, vendor,
technology, architecture, or approach has a lock on ‘the solution’ to
ever increasing complex business requirements. As a result, Portland
CodeCamp and SQLSaturday Portland have combined and expanded their
scope in order to better serve the larger development community.

Portland CodeCamp is reaching out for significant interaction and
inclusion with developers that work in the Mobile, Social, Cloud, and
Gaming arenas –as well as the more traditional business problem
solutions. SQLSaturday has expanded to include not only T-SQL, but
PL/SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and any SQL platform –with a special
interest on interoperability between platforms and developer tools.
