SoCal Code Camp fun facts

This weekend I attended the 11th SoCal Rock & Roll Code Camp.
Here are some fun facts:
- It was the 5th Code Camp held in Fullerton. Another 4 took place in La Jolla and 2 more in Los Angeles. Mark Rosenberg and I participated in each of them.
- I gave 6 presentations and attended 76 sessions by 38 different presenters.
- Overall I spent a combined 161 hours across 20 days at Code Camp.
- I won 3 software licenses and 5 books in the raffles. Thanks to all the sponsors I also got countless t-shirts and other swag.

I won an Altova MapForce license for being one of the few people who went to all 11 SoCal Code Camps. Mark Rosenberg was the only other person who went to all of them and was present at the time of the raffle.
