By Developers For Developers No Fluff only Code
It's Code Camp time again in Southern California and lots of Coders, Programers, Engineers, etc will meet at the Cal State Fullerton Campus this coming Saturday and Sunday, January 27 and 28.
Code Camp is a community driven event for developers of all platforms, programming languages and disciplines - well that's the idea at least. Looking at session table, one cannot shake the feeling that .net seems a little over represented but there are also a couple platform independent, embedded, and Java specific talks scheduled as well.
My sessions: Arduino Fever - PHYSICAL COMPUTING and Declarative Programming, emphasizing UI Generation at Runtime have been scheduled to take place on Saturday, right after Code Camp Welcome.
See you Saturday morning at the CSFU Campus in UH248 ...

Arduino Fever - PHYSICAL COMPUTING

CSFU Campus, UH248, Sat. 01/27/2007, 9:00 - 10:15 AM
The Arduino project was created to provide access to the essence of digital technologies and has contributed a remarkable set of open-source tools, ideal to conduct courses in electronics prototyping. Today, more than 20 universities are using Arduino in their programs and engineering classes, several open source communities have welcomed Arduino as their platform for interfacing the physical world, and the Arduino project has expanded into secondary education in schools allover Europe. This session provides a hands-on introduction to Arduino platform. We will focus on sensors and actuators and take a look at how a computer converts inputs (in the form of sound, light, motion, and other forms) into changing electronic signals that it can interpret. No previous knowledge in electronics is required. However, participants should bring an open mind for a challenging time with a hand full of bytes.

Declarative Programming, emphasizing UI Generation at Runtime

CSFU Campus, UH248, Sat. 01/27/2007, 10:30 - 11:45 AM
Graphical User Interfaces are described in XML documents that are parsed at runtime and rendered into UI-Widgets. While open-source projects like Thinlet and Swixml focus mainly on the GUI, they are also good examples for how declarative programming can be done in Java.
