DEVELOPMENTAL Game Camps!!!

I have talked a bit about our Game Camps in the past and all of the excitement we saw around the launch of XNA (here, here and here).  (You can read all about XNA here)

With game development now growing exponentially in Canada – as revealed by overflow crowds at the first Game Camp in Toronto on November 2006 – we saw a great way to support the community.

In fact, the event was such a hit that developers were soon asking us how to run their own Game Camps! The idea was born to more proactively engage, educate, inspire and support the thriving gaming community.

Game Camp is a workshop that is organized by volunteers. Microsoft has built content, tools and other resources to help run these workshops. Anyone can run or attend a Game Camp in their area!  Visit www.microsoft.ca/developmental to check it out! (Part of our very cool new Develop Mental Institute.....which yes, is in Flash, but moving to WPF/E)

By the way - I will be keynoting at the Vancouver Game Summit in May and we will be talking more about XNA (and other good things)
