... and so it begins.

A couple weeks ago, the authors of CVCode started talking about the gap in a .NET community that is along the I-81 corridor, south of Harrisburg/Mechanicsburg. As we are finding out, a good number of Software Engineers exist in the area but nothing that really showcases the efforts/talents of its residents. From that, the idea for Cumberland Valley Code was born. Collectively we feel we have a wide variety of professional experience and an interesting arsenal of topics to get this thing started. That said, we will be leaving our agenda open to reader feedback so we can change gears accordingly.

Our focus?

To start, we will be geared towards current technologies so we can dig into some of the things that we all may not normally get exposure to on the daily. This means researching, debating and gaining useful experience in emerging tools, technologies and development practices that foster a culture of software craftsmanship.

Our goal?

We are hoping that enough interest gets generated as more articles get published over the coming months that this reaches the global development community for feedback and could also help generate enough local interest to spawn a Users Group in the area.
