Let me say that our sponsors have been awesome. We&#8217;ve got over 60 door prizes worth around $20,000 CAD. Prizes include component packages from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dundas.com\/\">Dundas<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.componentart.com\/\">ComponentArt<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nevron.com\/\">Nevron<\/a>; books from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aw.com\/\">Addison-Wesley<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apress.com\/\">Apress<\/a>; a free registration to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.devteach.com\/\">DevTeach<\/a> Montreal 2007; copies of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jetbrains.com\/\">JetBrains<\/a> .NET Productivity Pack; and lots of hardware. There is even rumour of an XBox 360 among the loot.<\/p>\n<p>All the sponsors have been very supportive, but I want to say that JetBrains has gone above and beyond the call of duty. The JetBrains .NET Productivity Pack includes both <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jetbrains.com\/resharper\/\">ReSharper<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jetbrains.com\/profiler\/\">dotTrace<\/a> and retails for $600 USD. One in twenty attendees will walk away with this prize! That&#8217;s right. You&#8217;ve got a 1 in 20 chance of taking home two of the best .NET tools on the market. Awesome!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks go to all the sponsors for their support and I hope to see <strong><em>you<\/em><\/strong> at the Calgary Code Camp on Saturday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Calgary Code Camp is this Saturday!
