Where: Bamberger Haus, Brunnerstr.2, 80804 Munich, Germany
Who should attend?

Description
The Code Camp is an informal gathering of developers interested in learning and in helping others learn about Alfresco Surf. The first part of the day will follow a traditional agenda comprised of short presentations and hands-on labs. Afterwards, we will shift into a workshop mode where all Code Camp attendees will be encouraged to brainstorm and present ideas around Surf components they would like to develop. Both an Optaros and Alfresco team lead will be in attendance to facilitate these efforts. We encourage all attendees to stay through dinner to code, collaborate and share ideas on Alfresco.
Why?
- Attend the Code Camp to learn from Optaros, an Alfresco Platinum and Surf First Wave partner
- Participate in hands-on labs where you will be introduced to the Surf framework
- Experience an easy set-up and configuration through access to a virtual machine image
- Enjoy the opportunity to network and learn from others
