I’m going to preDevCamp and I am bringing…

So you’re all pumped up to come to preDevCamp but you don’t know what to bring, here is a list that can help you have a great time at camp.

1.  A Laptop running one of the 3 supported operating systems in at least a virtual machine if not as the main OS (32 bit windows -xp or vista, Mac OSX, Linux)

2.  A thumb drive or a cd with the SDK to share with your neighbor if they forget it. Get it at http://developer.palm.com

3.  Your coolest geek shirt. Don’t have one? you still have time to order one from think geek

4. An Idea of what you want to build or help build.

5. Your palm pre – you have one right? if not you will have several chances to win one. Ideally in developer mode.

6. Graphic Design software if you’re a designer – Adobe Fireworks works best. Get the trial here.

7. An IDE – Eclipse works best and palm has special plugins for it.  http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1639

8. Paper or a notebook for sketching ideas and notes. – Portable whiteboards are cool too.

9. Hacker / devhouse  / excitement to learn / can do spirit  – without this you will have no fun, and at the end of the day I hope that is what you have.

10.  Have a great camp!

Please add more ideas in the comments!
