On October 24t we held the Microsoft Code Camp - Buenos Aires 2007. The event was really good, there were lots of people and of course the speakers were great.

Code Camp was a great opportunity for students to get involved on our daily work, during the event they could see the work done by our user groups, two of the best industry speakers (Alejandro G. Jack and Andrés Aguiar), a WPF Guru like Paulo Arancibia, and also had time to win an X-Box  360°.

I’m really happy with our first Code Camp, I think it’s the first of lots of events where UG and MSPs will be able to expose what they do and what they’ve been working on.

I hope all the assistants have left with a sensation that for the next Code Camp they can be on the other side (as presenters) since this event was thought by students for students.

About my track, you can get DinnerNow source code from http://www.dinnernow.net and start playing around with the bits.

Finally, I want to thank all the people that made this event possible: Southworks Team, Microsoft Argentina Faculty Contact Center, ASPSOFT, Andrés Aguiar (Infragistics), All the MSP (Microsoft Student Partners), and of course to my Track partner Augusto Alvarez.

And remember….

Technology is a journey… enjoy the ride

We’re getting closer to the Microsoft Argentina Code Camp to be held on Oct. 24th at UADE (Universidad Argentina de la Empresa).

This event is *completely free* and it will be the coolest event this year targeted for Students considering the topics to be discussed and the involved technologies . We’ll speak about: XNA (games development), Silverlight, WPF, Robotics, Software Architecture among others.

We will show the most interesting tools and technologies shown by Students for Students. The event won’t be pure theory, most of our content is designed to be interactive demos. Also we’re going to provide resources trying to encourage students to get involved and up on speed faster than they think.
