Attendee registration is now open for the 2014 Atlanta Code Camp: https://atlcc2014.eventbrite.com

Code Camp is your opportunity to join other like-minded developers from Atlanta and the greater southeast region for a full day of training on a range of modern technologies. It is an annual volunteer-driven community event, and attracts a wide range of experts on many topics including Windows, .NET, web development, Azure, mobile, design, and many others. The Atlanta Code Camp is always on a Saturday, so you don’t need to take a day off from work to attend.

This year’s event is being held on Saturday, October 11th, at Southern Polytechnic State University in Marietta GA. We are collecting a small fee ($10), which mostly covers the cost of lunch (which is provided).

Register today, because space is limited and tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis! Once we sell out we can’t let anyone else through the door (due to safety rules at our venue)!

Interested in presenting one or more talks at this year’s event?

We are still accepting submissions. Please submit a topic for consideration using the form found here: http://www.atlantacodecamp.com/2014/CallForSpeakers

Are you (or your company) interested in becoming a sponsor for Code Camp?

We are still seeking additional sponsors! Sponsorship is a great way to get your company name in front of hundreds of motivated software engineers. If you or your company would like to sponsor this year’s event, then please visit our sponsorship page here: http://www.atlantacodecamp.com/2014/Sponsoring

I was very excited when Microsoft announced Universal Apps for Windows Store and Windows Phone Apps. One reason is that I can use my existing C#/CLR/WinRT skill set to now build phone apps. Another reason is because it means my Windows Runtime via C# book now has a new audience. In fact, the book’s content…

My Windows Runtime via C# book originally targeted developers building Windows Store. However, with the introduction of Visual Studio’s universal apps, the book is now applicable to Windows Phone 8.1 app developers as well. So, Maarten and I have created a document that goes through chapter by chapter explaining the few places where the book’s…

The WebSockets protocol provides full-duplex communication on top of a TCP connection that is initiated by an HTTP handshake. The fact that it runs over existing HTTP and HTTPS ports allows it to pass easily through most existing firewall configurations. The Windows Runtime provides a powerful set of networking APIs that includes components specifically designed…
