CampJS

Bringing together the most awesome Javascript talent from Australia & Worldwide.

What is CampJS?

CampJS is a weekend-long hack-retreat for Javascript developers that features a unique blend of expert-led, structured content and self-directed, unstructured learning.

Hack Space

The best way to learn is by doing, thus the hall is mostly reserved for uninterrupted hacking. Get inspired by the talks & workshops or the awesome collective talent in the room. Build anything you want. On the final evening, everyone is given the opportunity to show off what they built or learned at CampJS, with prizes for the best presentations!

Workshops

Workshops are expert-led tuition to get people's hands dirty using new tools and techniques. To ensure a great learning environment, CampJS 2014 workshops are limited to smaller groups. Workshops will repeat over the duration of the camp so nobody misses out. Workshops will be run by at least two tutors.

Talks

Talks are limited to fast 20 minute sessions, on upcoming, cutting-edge web technology.

What will my team be exposed to at CampJS?

Your team will be exposed to the latest and greatest in Javascript and Web Technologies. We have created the environment, we've brought in the speakers and decided the topics, but arguably the most important feature of this event, is merely a side effect - the developers. It's easy for a developer, or even a team of developers to slip into a vaccum... CampJS gives your developers a chance to see what everyone else is doing, and how they are doing it.

Invited Guests

Last year we imported some of the world's biggest names in JavaScript and web development including TJ Holowaychuk, Angelina Fabbro, Substack, Dominic Tarr and Max Ogden.

In 2014 we plan to bring more awesome developers from around the globe, big names soon to be announced!

Top Australian Developers

The Australian JavaScript community is brimming with talent, and much of that talent congregates at CampJS. This is an opportunity to connect with the best & friendliest developers in Australia, and worldwide.
