Photos: Happy developers in da house

Participants attend SuperHappyDevHouse sessions to learn a new language, work on projects or just have fun.

ByIQ intern Elliot Lynde (shown here), an electrical engineering student at Wisconsin University, is here to write XLM code for his resume. He didn't find a good version online and thinks this will save him time with all the updates he has to do during the next two years before graduating.

Out on the veranda, Albert Mao, a Google intern and University of Washington medical school student, works on an old project he once created to impress a girl. It's an online version of a card game. "It's a shame to let code just sit there," he says.

There are also attendees like Andrew Yates, 23, who dropped out of Ohio State University and moved to Silicon Valley, like so many others--to go after his dream. He's not at SuperHappyDevHouse to code, though he claims to be good at it. Instead he's there to talk about the start-up he and a friend are working on--a free payment system within the Facebook community.
