From July 23rd, 2013, JPassion.com is going to offer 3 to 5 days "live", "instructor-led", "hands-on" style, "intensity guaranteed" codecamps (be ready to code!) to all paying members of JPassion.com for free. Yes, for FREE. Each of these codecamps would typically cost between $2000 to $4000. Now with a paying membership of JPassion.com, which is $99 per year for now, you can attend all of these live codecamps without paying a single extra dollar. Moving forward, we are planning to offer one or two codecamps per month. Popular codecamps could be repeated if there is a strong community demand.. The schedule of currently planned codecamps are as following:

One last note, with this exciting new offering, the yearly membership fee of JPassion.com will be increased to $169 on July 23rd, 2013. So if you want to take advantage of the current $99 yearly membership fee, please do so before July 23rd, 2013. And of course, you have 5 full days to cancel for full refund for whatever reason you might have.

If you think this sounds exciting, please spread the word to your friends, your classmates, your neighbors, your parents :-) via twitter, facebook, or whatever means you have. That will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much, and let's do "codecamp'ing" with Passion!
