Fusionized Technology and Mudbrick Creative are among the sponsors of BarCamp 3 Harrisburg, April 9, 2011 at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology.

Harrisburg, PA, February 07, 2011 -- Fusionized Technology and Mudbrick Creative are among the sponsors of BarCamp 3 Harrisburg, April 9, 2011 at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology.

BarCamp Harrisburg 3 is a free, ad-hoc unconference filled with open, participatory events, discussions, and workshops where presentation content is provided by the participants rather than chosen speakers.

Entry is free but limited to the first 150 signups. The topics for this year’s BarCamp Harrisburg will be the Web with tracks on education and technology, and mobile apps. For information on registering or to become a sponsor, visit online at http://www.barcamphbg.org/. Questions can be directed via email to sayhi@barcamphbg.org

Attendees arrive around 9-10 am, have breakfast, network, and post topics they would like to discuss on a schedule board (we’ll have markers and a whiteboard available to post topics). Following a brief kick-off meeting with the entire group, the day will consist of sessions broken down into 45-minute blocks. Sessions can be discussions, workshops, or presentation-it’s up to you! There will be a break for lunch, followed by afternoon sessions that will run until around 5 pm.

BarCamp Harrisburg 3 is organized by Hauck Interactive and Harrisburg University of Science and Technology.

Past sessions at BarCamp Harrisburg have included Building a site using the Gaia Flash Framework; Flash vs. HTML5; Social Media; Open source content management systems; Developing Desktop Applications using AIR; Developing Android Applications; Yahoo! Query Language; How to use SVN with Web projects; Top Photoshop Tricks; Top WordPress and Drupal plugins; Application Performance & Scaling; Best Security Practices; Unix Command Line Productivity Tips; and Applying User Interface Design to Source Code.

The first BarCamp took place in 2005, and since that time BarCamps have been held in over 350 cities all over the world. BarCamp originated as a response to Foo Camp, which was an invitation-only conference. Both conferences are a play on the terms foo, bar, and foobar, which are common placeholder/variable names used by hackers and computer programmers.
