Just a reminder that Desert Code Camp is this Saturday, June 13th, at the DeVry University Phoenix campus. It’s 100% free and has content for pretty much all your popular languages, so developers and students don’t have much of an excuse not to go. You’ll want to register now and pick your sessions to make sure there’s enough space.
“Code Camps are about the developer community at large. They are meant to be a place for developers to come and learn from their peers. Topics are always based on community interest and never determined by anyone other than the community…Code Camps are always free for attendees…The success of the Code Camps is that they are based on community content. All content that is delivered is original. All presentation content must be provided completely (including code) without any restriction. If you have content you don’t want to share or provide to attendees then the Code Camp is not the place for you.”

What: Geek ‘n’ Eat XIV
When: Friday, February 27th, Noon-1pm.
Where: Chino Bandito, Chandler
Who: All hungry geeks!
[Restaurant Website] [Google Street View Map] [Aerial View] [Google Group] [GnE Website]
As a part-time Asian living in Arizona, Chino’s holds a special place in my heart for successfully blending Americanized Eastern favorites with Mexican classics. (Jerk chicken quesadillas, egg fu yung burritos.. crazy delicious stuff.) Come get your geek on with some awesome unique eats! I’m sure we’ll find some give-a-ways, too.
Note that this is at the CHANDLER location, which happens to have the worst restaurant real estate ever. It’s on the Southeast corner of Chandler and Dobson *behind* the strip mall. (See aerial pic.)
Mark your calendar now. (I’ll wait.) No reservation required, but notes appreciated on the Geek ‘n’ Eat Google Group! Reservation held for 20.
Chino Bandido Takee-Outee was founded in November 1990 by Frank and Eve Collins, husband and wife. The blend of Mexican and Asian cooking styles and flavors came about from Eve’s Chinese background and both Frank and Eve being native Arizonans. The original store was only 1000 square feet, seated 16, and was modeled after those “hole-in-the-wall” restaurants that Frank and Eve love. As soon as they realized that people wanted to stay in to eat, as opposed to taking it out, they expanded the restaurant year by year, until the restaurant grew to over 5,000 square feet, seating about 150.
In June 2005, we finally opened the Chandler location. It is tucked into the corner of San Marcos Square (behind the Walgreen’s) on the southeast corner of Dobson and Chandler Blvd. With 6,000 square feet and an outside patio, we have tried to create a spacious, comfortable dining area. Most of the parking is on the east side of the building, so be sure to drive around back for the closest entrance!
In the fall of 2005, New Times awarded Chino’s Best of Phoenix for “Local Eatery We Wish Were a Chain.” On January 29, 2007, AOL users voted Chino’s in First Place for Best of Phoenix “Cheap Eats” category.
Chino’s is also one of few restaurants that gives you a tutorial in how to place an order. Mark your calendar now. (I’ll wait.)

If
Marc’s gauge of using laughter levels as a measure of event successfulness holds any truth, I’d declare it extremely successful!
Major überthanks to…

If you want to see more awesome O’Reilly stuff, post a review with your thoughts of the book to Amazon, Slashdot, or your blog. (No, twitter doesn’t count… *stares at Sunny accusingly*.)
