Code Camp is a type of unconference that was initially established to assist software developers who were unable to participate in professional activities during standard working hours. The content of these classes ranges from certification and coding interviews training to data structures and algorithms that pertain to the project the company is working on.
The initiative, which began in Boston under the leadership of Thom Robbins and other local developer community leaders, offers technical presentations and access to specialized technical content. The concept of Code Camps has been influential in the genesis of similar 'Camp' style events, such as BarCamp.[ citation needed]
Originally, Code Camps were more closely associated with Microsoft Windows or .NET platforms, [1] with the first-ever Code Camp being held at the Microsoft Northeast Region office in Waltham, Massachusetts. [2] They have since broadened their scope. There are now online programs, like FreeCodeCamp, which offer a similar style of learning. [3] There are also many programs designed for beginners, with some being held for children.
These camps are notable for being free to attend and are typically scheduled outside of regular work hours. [4] Reflecting the characteristics of most unconferences, Code Camps are centered around the local or regional development community. Presentations and topic suggestions are often provided by community members who also serve as presenters. The purpose of this is to foster a collaborative and participatory environment among peers.
