Event Type: barcamp
Organized By: Barcamp Tampa
Latest Activity: Sep 7, 2011
The topics and the presenters are diverse, but will appeal to anyone who has an interest in technology and the internet. This is an event for web designers, developers, marketers, copy writers, SEOs, sys admins and anyone who operates a business with a web presence to get together and share their knowledge.
The endearing quality of the unconference format is that you have options all day. If the presentation you choose isn’t what you were expecting, you can always jump over into another room and check out something else.
The schedule starts BLANK in the morning and is filled up by attendees that want to do a presentation. Presenters choose their room and time and everyone else scours the board to choose the path that they will take for the day.
The day is what you make it, by choosing presentations to attend and deciding whether or not to present a topic. This is the best part of BarCamp. While most presenters prepare topics beforehand, there are sometimes impromptu topics from passionate people inspired by the feel of the day.
Barcamp is a community event, both in participation and in funding. It is made possible by the time and money donated by the crew of people running the event, the attendees and companies that support us. Thank you to all of you!
Each year we have some fantastic companies that sponsor by donating time, money, facilities and supplies for the day. We’re also very lucky to get great support from attendees making donations in order to attend. We hope that everyone takes the time to check out the companies and people that support us!
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Developer Platform Unkey has written about rebuilding its entire API authentication service from the ground up, moving from serverless Cloudflare Workers to stateful Go servers after re-evaluating the constraints of their serverless architecture. The move resulted in a sixfold performance improvement and eliminated the workarounds that had become a dominant part of its engineering efforts.

Cloudflare has recently published the sixth edition of its Radar Year in Review.

Over 20% of automated API requests were made by Go-based clients, almost doubling adoption over the previous year.
