Vancouver Island Camp Smalltalk - Oct 3rd-6th, 2014

Camp Smalltalk; Smalltalk programmers getting together to share. Bugs will be fixed, neat tricks demonstrated and plans developed. Join us!

Smalltalk programmers love to share their enthusiasm, skills, problems and solutions with each other. Every now and then a bunch get together at a Camp Smalltalk in order to indulge in a near frenzy of sharing.

This is the first such event on Vancouver Island and we hope to welcome you to Makerspace Nanaimo where we will have space, desks, chairs, bandwidth and power - all that we really need aside from you. It won't even cost you anything to attend - though we will be asking for donations that will be split between MakerSpace as thanks for the facilities and ESUG to help fund other Camps

This particular Camp has grown like Topsy from a simple attempt to get the small number of Smalltalkers on the island together for a weekend of social programming into a gathering of nearly two dozen experts from all across Canada and the US west coast. If you're a newcomer to Smalltalk this might be a good chance to meet some experienced people that can help you.

If you are a Ruby user, or a web coder looking for something different and better, or simply curious about programming languages, consider joining us to learn how Smalltalk can help you. Seaside has become an important web tool and is written in Smalltalk by some of our confirmed attendees. The MIT Scratch language that is popular as a beginners system is also written in Smalltalk and the developer of the Raspberry Pi specific variant will be around.
