Game Camp - Events 2008

We've finally agreed upon the dates for the two Game Camp events we'll be having in 2008.

25th of April and 26th of September.

We have only nailed the structures for the events and are still working on the agendas for both events.
The structure for the first event will be resemble what one is used to for user groups such as NNUG (Norwegian .Net User Group) - an evening with 2-3 speakers lasting some 3-4 hours.

For the second event in september, we have bigger plans. We will do what we did last year in November and escalate the content. So far we've planned the following :

  • Full day and evening event with a social happening at the end
  • "Superstar" speakers for our main track
  • Breakout sessions with specialized content reaching from skill-level 100 to 300
  • Hands-on-labs were you are able to sit down and try out XNA for yourself
  • Hopefully we'll be having partner booths as well

Follow this site for more information. We will soon enable people to sign up for the events. If you have any suggestions for content for the different tracks and sessions, please send an email to : einar _at_ dolittle.com

About Einar Ingebrigtsen

I've been doing software development since forever.. :) Started off with a Commodore 64 attached to my fingers for several years, went on to Amiga, Atari and later the PC. I was involved in the demoscene on all of the above mentioned platforms under the nickname Adept in several different groups; Legion Design, Scoop, Melon Dezign to mention but a few. Started doing professional software development in 1994 for FunCom with the prime responsibility of doing the 3D rendering engie for a PC/DOS game called Deadly Skies. Went on to doing the game engine for Windows/DirectX and Playstation for Dragonheart. Did some SNES coding in between. In 1996 a bunch of us quit FunCom and started our own company called Dimaga Studios. We went on making games for Windows/DirectX, Playstation and SEGA Saturn. The company fusioned in 1997 with Innerloop and the new name was Innerloop Studios. I quit the company later that year and started doing interactive TV solutions for a company called Playbox. Carried on doing interactive TV games and services till 2002 for Playbox and later Hermes Interactive. In 2002 I went on doing something completely different; enterprise level business applications. After working with Visual Studio .net BETA in 2001, and looking at the .net framework and C# we started the process in 2002 on moving the code over to this platform. 6 years later I'm still in the same company (still moving the code to C# :) ). Every now and then I found myself missing doing games fulltime. Early 2007 I got an email from Rune Grothaug at Microsoft Norway (DPE Team - MSDN) with a link to DevelopMentals Canadian Game Camp site. 24 hours later the GameCamp.no domain was purchased and CommunityServer installed on my server. Now I get to feed my game development nerve every now and then; through working the community by creating tutorials, newsposts, forum discussions and holding Game Camp events.
