CodeCast Episode 62: GiveCamp with Chris Koenig

CodeCast Episode 62: GiveCamp with Chris KoenigIn this episode of CodeCast, Ken Levy interviews Chris Koenig, a developer evangelist for Microsoft in the Dallas, Texas offices. This is an in-depth discussion about the history, status, and roadmap for GiveCamp events in various cities. GiveCamp was an idea hatched by Chris a few years ago, and now there are many GiveCamp events organized around the country with expansion plans this year. GiveCamp is a weekend long event where software developers, designers, and database administrators donate their time to create custom software for non-profit organizations. Some events focus on a specific technology like Microsoft .NET using Visual Studio or Expression Web. But using other technologies is often a possibility such as using Graffiti, Sitefinity, DotNetNuke, Wordpress, Joomla, mojoPortal, Drupal, etc. The custom software created at GiveCamp could be a new website, a small data-collection application to keep track of members, Facebook page, a rich client or even a mobile application..This episode of CodeCast is educational for any developers or organizers considering volunteering to participate in and benefit from an upcoming GiveCamp event.Guest ·         Chris Koenig - Blog: http://chriskoenig.net, Twitter: http://twitter.com/ChrisKoenig Links ·         GiveCamp: http://givecamp.org ·         @GiveCamp: http://twitter.com/GiveCamp Length: 62:15 Posted @ 11:00 PM by CodeCast ([email protected])
