Code Camp : Free IT Education !

Code Camp is a new type of community event where developers learn from fellow developers. We also have developer related topics that include software branding, legal issues around software as well as other topics developers are interested in hearing about. All are welcome to attend and speak.
The Code Camp consists of these points:

• by and for the developer community
• always free
• never occur during working hours

Sessions will range from informal “chalk talks” to presentations. There will be a mix of presenters, some experienced folks, for some it may be their first opportunity to speak in public. And we are expecting to see people from throughout the Northern California region and beyond.

Working Overseas Anyone ?

From what I hear now, more than ever , it is up to the workers to
go where the work is.

If you want to go somewhere interesting, I'd recommend trying
Ireland. There is IT work and project management to be done there.

They speak English and probably won't hate you for being American.

Take a look at :

Asset Recruitment in Ireland

There is also a linked in group.
I am familiar with the folks who run Asset Recruitment
and they will give you a fair deal.

They also cover positions outside Ireland, predominantly
in the Middle East.

In case you missed it : Linked In hiring FE SW Engineers

LinkedIn is now actively hiring for Front End Engineers in our Mountain View headquarters.
