In 2017, Codecamp will feature numerous workshops, talks, presentations, contests and community building activities. By far, one of the biggest additions is represented by the masterclasses.
These high-end learning events feature top trainers and IT specialists from all over the world. The workshops represent an in-depth, hands-on, practical approach coupled with one-on-one consulting sessions. They are concentrated in the two days before the conference and will address a diverse range of disciplines and technologies: architecture, Java, .NET, security, web apps.
Given that there’s a limited number of people who can attend (10-20 participants), the trainer can focus on each and every one of their questions and try to suggest tailored solutions. Here are the masterclasses that will take place in May 2017 in Iasi:

Additionally to the masterclasses, you should also book a ticket for the Codecamp International Conference on May 12th. It will feature top speakers who usually hold presentations at international conferences such as QCon, O’Reilly, Devoxx, etc. and who only appear in the same line-up for a small number of events, Codecamp being the only one in Romania where we have the chance to see this happen.
