Mark your calendars, aspiring developers. Bangalore's first informal get together dedicated to developing apps using new technologies is set to get underway on February 9, 2008 in Bangalore. Free to all who show up, you won't even need to be Bill Gates to participate. If you belong to the developer community (programmer, architect, analyst, tester or manager) this event is for you. According to joint creators Kesava Reddy and Sidu Ponnappa, the idea for the DevCamp was inspired by other ad-hoc gatherings, such as BarCamp and seemed like a perfect non-commercial forum for anyone who wanted to whip up some quick applications on new technology platforms. "This is not a CodeCamp. DevCamp is for people to share and learn in an open environment. Technically speaking, an agenda-less 'unconferencene'," says Ponnappa. From programming with Android to learning about monads or Ruby on Rails, DevCamp is where you can meet geeks who are at the forefront of these technologies. ThoughtWorks' chief scientist and agile development's chief evangelist, Martin Fowler will be there too. You can look up to learn some cool stuff from him or even catch up with him for lunch.
