Site News
Most of the CodeProject team are at Microsoft's TechEd conference, escaping the Toronto weather and amassing as much swag as possible.
A small but bright light shone on Kinect technology today at TechEd so what better time for those thinking about sharing their hardware or gaming knowledge to post their tips, code or just beginner tutorials for those looking to get started. Our Game Development section as well as the Hardware and System section are open and waiting for your articles, and a new forum for Game Development has just opened.
Posting is easy and there's plenty who will help you get started.
Our next Tech summit will be on HTML5 / CSS3 development on May 25 (next Wednesday). We limit space to ensure the quality of the videos is as high as possible so register early.
Toronto UI Experts Needed
We're looking for a UI expert familiar with ASP.NET/C# in the Toronto area who want to help build CodeProject.com. If you're interested, or if someone whose skills you covet may be interested, send a resume to chris@codeproject.com. Toronto area applications only, please.
cheers,
Chris Maunder
