Seattle Code Camp is Awesome and You Should Go!

You Should go to Seattle Code Camp

Smartsheet is excited to be participating in the 15th annual Seattle Code Camp held on the campus of Seattle University this Saturday, 9/9/17.

Seattle Code Camp is a one-day learning event for programming professionals and students with a focus on coding, databases and related technologies. This is a "grass roots" mini application / platform developer conference, free to attendees and open to presenters of all stripes and experience.

Here is the list of sessions being given.  With such a broad range of topics, new and experienced developers alike are sure to find something interesting.

Smartsheet is proud to contribute to the ongoing success of Seattle Code Camp. In addition to co-sponsoring the event, we have four members of the team from Smartsheet leading sessions at the camp.

The following sessions are being given by Smartsheet team members:

Michael Villasenor, Software Systems Engineer:
