>Ok, but who paid for 200 pizzas? MS? It's not just a big MS love fest, is it? Are the sessions at all levels, so beginners would feel comfortable? Are there workshops using PCs, or is it simply lecture-based? How do you find out where/when these are held?

Like I said, MS is involved at some level in the sponsorship, but you won't hear much about it in the camps themselves. Each presenter has his laptop and you are expected to get into the code. That's what "Code Camp" is all about.

There are a number of beginner sessions as well as sessions for the seasoned developer. They are trying to make this a great experience for all attendees and so far, from my observations, are succeeding.
