SoCal Code Camp this weekend (June 23-24)

I noticed there's a few threads here about learning to program. Well, there is a free event this weekend to get introduced to new technologies. It's sponsored by Microsoft and will have a bunch of workshops on emerging technology. Lots of mobile and web.

It's also a good event to meet (hire?) programmers if that's something you want to do.

feel free to come by and say hi, or tune in to the event on line or on twitter.

SoCal Code Camp (Session)

"
The amount of data in our world has been exploding, and analyzing large data sets—so-called big data—will become a key basis of competition, underpinning new waves of productivity growth, innovation, and consumer surplus. Leaders in every sector will have to grapple with the implications of big data, not just a few data-oriented managers. The increasing volume and detail of information captured by enterprises, the rise of multimedia, social media, and the internet will fuel exponential growth in data for the foreseeable future.
In this panel driven event, we will discuss innovation, competition and productivity in harnessing the enormous potential of Big Data.

I don't know the hashtags yet, but we'll be doing live Q&A on Twitter as well as broadcasting live video. I'll post on this thread again when I have those details
