We have a great line up of tracks this year, even a new one led by our very own, Philly area Microsoft Developer Evangelist, Danny Diaz. This is our 5th year in a row hosting Code Camp for the Philly area, and each and every year we have a great turn out, with over 500 developers showing up last time. We have this great turn out because we have great topics, presented by even greater speakers, and that is why we cannot do it with out you, the speaker. So if you are interested in submitting a topic for one of the following tracks:
If one of these tracks is your area of expertise or you have a great interest in speaking at Philly Code Camp this year, please submit your topic here by going here:

And clicking the “Add new item” button at the bottom of the page:
We look forward to your submissions. Because with out you, the speaker, Code Camp doesn’t work.

Received this message today from Google AdSense.
We performed an analysis on xyz.com and found a great opportunity to increase your AdSense earnings. We recommend that you change your 120×600 ad units to 160×600′s on xyz.com. Here is an example of where we found this opportunity: xyz.com/
Generating the code for this new ad size should take no more than five minutes, and may have a substantial impact on your revenue. On average, publishers across our network who implement this change see a noticeable improvement on the CPMs and we think you’ll see similar results.
For an example of how small changes can make a big impact on your revenue, check out how CareerPlanner.com increased their revenue by 165% by making changes similar to the one I’ve suggested.
You’ll get the best results by updating all 120×600 units across your site. Our system analyzed 1pages across xyz.com and found 3 120×600 ad units.
I know this is probably in their best self interest, but it also makes me money in the same way. So it’s a win/win in my book.
