Microsoft's giving students free access to its developer tools!

Late today (18 Feb 2008/Mon), MS announced the DreamSpark project that opens up access to many students in the world (currently 11 countries listed). Looks like Bill Gates is trying to intensify MS's RIA competition with Adobe.

Again, related with with the web-wars, we will also see what would happen to the MS's Yahoo bid soon :)

Some of the tools available through DreamSpark:

• Visual Studio
• XNA Game Studio
  
• Expression Studio
• Windows Server (standard edition)
• SQL Server developer edition

San Diego JUG Meeting - 20 November 2007/Tue

Bruce Eckel was with us at our JUG meeting last night and it was pretty good one. The topic was "Java Issues & Directions".

San Diego Barcamp was cool

I attended the SD barcamp couple weeks ago, and I was pleasantly surprised how dynamic and cool it was. Definitely, it's a must-go-event. I would highly recommend to everyone who wants to hear and share information about technology, hacking, Web 2.0 and beyond...

By the way, barcamp is a spin-off of foocamp which was organized by Tim O'Reilly. Whereas foocamp is invitation-only, barcamp is open to everyone who is interested in the technology and web. It is basically small workshop-events whose content is provided by participants.
