So what is a WordCamp? WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress, the free and open source personal publishing software that powers over 25 million sites on the web.

WordCamps come in all different flavors, based on the local communities that produce them, but in general, WordCamps include sessions on how to use WordPress more effectively, beginning plugin and theme development, advanced techniques, security, etc.

WordCamps are attended by people ranging from blogging beginners to professional WordPress developers and consultants, and usually combine scheduled programming with unconference sessions and other activities.

If you’ve never blogged or built a website then please don’t be put off or intimidated, you’ll find lots of people happy to show you how to get started.

Conversely if you’re a dyed in the wool coder or developer then you’ll find like-minds who you can chew the syntax with over a beer or three.

Remember, code is poetry after all.
