Load my laptop » Proceedings of THATCamp

I mentioned in my Bootcamp session outline that if people wanted to play along it would be good to have a web server stack installed. This sounds much scarier than it is is, and it really gives you the opportunity to start playing with a variety of web technologies in the safety of your own computer. So I was thinking that perhaps it would be good to have a ‘load my laptop’ session where folks can bring along their computers and other folks (hopefully not just me) can help them install web servers, databases, programming languages, editors, version control etc etc.

Anyone interested?
