====Confessions of the (Accidental) Code Hoarder: How to make your Code Sharable:====
We’ll start with coding standards and test writing so you can be confident of the quality of your code. Next we'll discuss inline documentation as a tool for developers and how auto-generating documentation will save you time and effort. Lastly we'll provide an overview of the tricky areas of dependency and package management, and distribution tools. Along the way, we'll cover PHP coding standards, testing, and popular PHP tools including PHPDoc for documentation, Composer for smooth installations, and using GitHub and Packagist to manage distribution, updates and community feedback.

====Replace yourself with a painfully complex bash script...or try Ansible====
Morning, Galleria III
* Chad Nelson, chad dot nelson @ lyrasis dot org
* Blake Carver, Blake dot carver @lyrasis dot org
[http://www.ansible.com Ansible] is an open source automation and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_management configuration management] tool that focuses on simplicity to help make your life as a developer, or a sysadmin, or even a full on devops-er, easier. This workshop will cover the basic building blocks used in Ansible as well as some best practices for maintaining your Ansible code. We will start by working through a simple example together, and then participants will be given time to work on their own projects with instructors providing guidance and troubleshooting along the way. By the end of the session, participants will have a working knowledge of Ansible and be able to write a working [http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks.html playbook] to meet local needs.

====Visualizing Library Data====
Visualizing your institution’s data can give new insight about your holding’s strengths, weaknesses and outliers. They can also provide potential new avenues for discovery and access. This half day session will focus on programmatically visualizing library metadata. Emphasis will be on creating web-based visualizations utilizing libraries such as d3.js but attention paid towards visualizing large datasets while keeping them web accessible. By then end of the session participants will have template, sample code and methodologies enabling them to start producing visualization with their own data.

===FULL DAY:===
By providing developers the opportunity to take part in focused practice, away from the pressures of 'getting things done', the coderetreat format has proven itself to be a highly effective means of skill improvement.
Practicing the basic principles of modular and object-oriented design, developers can improve their ability to write code that minimizes the cost of change over time." [http://coderetreat.org/about About Code Retreat]

===AFTERNOON:===
GeoBlacklight is a discovery solution for geospatial data that builds on the successful Blacklight platform. Many libraries have collections of GIS data that aren’t easily discoverable. This will be a hands-on workshop, focused on installing and running GeoBlacklight which builds on the morning workshop "Delivering and Preserving GIS Data".

==== CollectionSpace: Getting it up and running at your museum ====
Participants will be walked through the process of installing the software and performing basic configuration work on a stand-alone instance of CollectionSpace. Participants will learn how to create user accounts, set up basic roles and permissions, and may then catalog or otherwise document sample objects from their collections. Materials distributed prior to the workshop will cover hardware and system requirements for participants.

==== Dive into Hydra ====
Hydra is a collaboration of over 30 educational institutions who work together to solve their repository needs by building open-source software. Dive into Hydra is a course that bootstraps you into the Hydra software framework. We'll start at the basics and walk you through the various layers of the Hydra stack. We'll conclude by installing the Worthwhile gem, enabling every participant to walk away with their own Institutional Repository. Participants who have prior exposure to web programming will get the most out of this course. It's recommended (but not required) that you attend "RailsBridge" prior to this workshop.

==== DPLA API Workshop: ====
The Digital Public Library of America API workshop guides attendees through the process of creating an app based on DPLA's free, public API. The API provides access to over 8 million [http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ CC0] licensed metadata records from America’s libraries, archives, and museums in a common metadata format. This workshop is designed for people of all technical skill levels and will cover API basics, the capabilities of the DPLA API, available toolsets, and tips for using records from the API effectively. Members of DPLA's technology team will be on hand to help the group build their first application, and answer questions about tools and content.

==== Intro to Docker ====
[http://docker.io Docker] ([http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/9669 jbfink code4lib journal article]) is an open source Linux operating system-level virtualization framework that has seen great uptake over the past year. This workshop will take you through the basic features of Docker, including setup, importing of containers, development workflows and deploying. Knowing when Docker is useful and when it isn't will also be covered. Ideally, every attendee will have ample experience creating and running their own Docker instances by the end.
