Richmond Code Camp

Richmond Code Camp 4 This Saturday

Frank — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 15:30:00 GMT

Due to a hectic schedule and prior commitment, I will not be able to make it to Richmond Code Camp this time around. :(

Andy, Susan, Kevin, Darrell and Robin all have worked hard to have a great day of fun and learning planned.

I understand that RCC4 is breaking all previous sign up records, but It's still not too late to reserve a seat. Register now.

If Developers Ruled the World Part 2

Frank — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 21:08:00 GMT

More movie ideas along the "If Developers Ruled the World" theme.

Hey, is that Andy's book the guy on the left is carrying?

"Enough is enough!
I'm stick of all these $@#*& Developers on this $@#*& Plane!"

How many times have you had to deal with code so bad, that you'd swear it was part of a conspiracy?

Tom Hanks as action hero: No.
Tom Hanks as Developer: Possibly.

If Developers Ruled the World

Frank — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 11:57:00 GMT

Here are some Photochops I came up for Richmond Code Camp keynotes that answers the question: what would the world be like if developers ruled?

Bad Software Design would be a crime (and good TV)

Debugging would make for good prime time drama

Even cartoon shows would feature Microsoft products

Developers would be action heroes

We would see the rise of "Gonzo Development Methodology"

Richmond on the Map

Frank — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 10:56:00 GMT

Kudos to Richmond on getting on the map of the fictitious Silverlight Airlines, a distinction that not even my new hometown DC was able to achieve.

The praise here belongs to the developer community there for really putting the city on the technology map.

With three successful Code Camps in one year and another one coming this October, Richmond has definitely made a name for itself.

Ink Analysis Article Published

Frank — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 15:01:00 GMT

In this article I wrote for CoDE Focus' Second Mobile PC Development Issue, I explore the Ink Analysis API.

What if you wanted to see more than just the top result? What if you wanted to recognize shapes as well? What if, in addition to converting the text of the document, you wanted to copy the structure of the document?

Ink analysis makes all this and more possible.

The issue has some great articles.

Here's a list:

Enjoy!
