Hello, please accept my apologies if this has already ben posted here (I couldn't get the search forum thing to work).

I thought I would inform everyone here (more useful for the UK developers) about Coders Workshop.

On Saturday 27th November the second Coders Workshop will be taking place in Doncaster, England. This is a general meet up of indie, hobbyist, freelance, or anyone else, computer programmers (any language), artists, musicians etc.

It is completely free to attend, and do not need to be a professional or even to have anything to show or talk about.

It is a chance to talk to a worldwide publisher (alot of their products are educational and applications www.idigicon.com ) of software, ask questions about freelancing, get more information on the software industry or just have a good time talking to other people about creating and looking at some stuff that other people are making.

Anyway, full information is available here:
http://www.codersworkshop.com/meet/index.htm and you don't need to book or anything, just turn up. But a polite email to the email address on that page informing them you are attending would be nice.

I am from the blitz community and went to the last convention, but now it has been opened up to all developing languages, which I think most of you will agree will be a very good idea, as we can see what is happening on the other side of the fence so to say. It will be nice to see some work done in dark basic and likewise for you to see some blitz work (as well as other languages). So please come along (there was free sandwiches last time )

Thanks
Chris Bate (boomboom)

Sounds great, timing is not perfect though, the UK DB convention is at the end of October, so a lot of people who would go won't. Hope it goes well though - you should definately post the details at LLRGT too, if you haven't heard of it, it's a non-specific language forum that would be very interested in this - they're planning a US convention themselves too.

Thanks, I am doing the rounds with alot of forums atm, so many indie games sites. Hopefully it won't conflict with your own convention too much.

do you know the LLRGT website, or anyothers I can inform as well?

I can't think of other forums that are worth posting in, I mean not as far as DB is concearned anyway - most people who use a smaller forum use this one or LLRGT as well you see.

This one may be of interest to "us Northerners", who struggle to make it to the DB convention.

Hi, Just letting you all know that several big developers and companies (such as nvidia) have donated more prizes for the day (an updated list can be seen on the website in my original posting)

Also talks are in place to get an nvidia developer to talk at the event.

Hope to see you all there (and remember its free!)

as BatVink said, this would be great for you lot to meet up if you can't make it, or can't afford to go to the dark official one or come along as well. Will be nice to see some cool stuff

Hi, Just me again. The event looks to be a big one this year. Also if you pre-book (just a friendly email to the address on the webpage) you will get a free goody bag when you arrive.

Loads more prizes added by the organisers, and still completely free
