Top 10 Reasons NOT to attend Code Camp

Top 10 Reasons NOT to attend Code Camp

10. You already know it all, and besides, your momma told you there's no such thing as a free lunch.

9. You figured out how to reconcile SOA and OOP, so you need the day to post your findings on wikipedia.

8. You want a complete Customer Relations Management solution on your DotNetNuke site, and it'll take you all day to do it.
 
7. You are still trying to figure out whether you're a C# or VB.Net programmer, and you want to use the day to reflect on the My namespace, and whether you can accept a pay cut.
 
6. You plan on helping John Milligan install a firewall over at Clara White Mission to help Project Backyard make a difference for the community.
 
5. You will be too busy studying for your MCSD at Panera's in Orange Park that morning. You know, so you can learn new things and write better code.
 
4. You are still working on passing the Joel Test, and you're stuck on item #1 (do you use source control?)
 
3. You attended the last Code Camp, and you think that by some kind of inheritance/polymorphism/abstraction/encapsulation relationship, this one will be the same.
 
2. Some AJAX bozo pushed the business logic into the presentation layer and you need the day to re-implement so your web service can use it.
 
1. You have seen the MSN Butterfly, and it won't be much of a fashion stretch for Dennis or Joe.
