SQL Server JumpIn! Camp Wrap Up
Jun 27, 2011 @ 17:28:18

Brian Swan (of Microsoft) has posted his wrapup of the recent Jump In! Camp they held around integration of SQL Server functionality into several popular PHP projects like the Zend Framework and PEAR.

During each day of the camp, PHP developers worked side-by-side with Microsoft developers to add SQL Server and SQL Azure support to their projects, but nearly everyone put in many extra hours late at night (and even early morning!) to add support for other Microsoft technologies (such as IIS, Web Platform Installer, and Windows Azure).

He includes some pictures taken of the progress board for the various projects and the wishlist that developers in attendance requested of the Microsoft team.

I can’t say thanks enough to all the participants for being 100% invested in the camp and for going the extra mile to investigate how their projects might be able to integrate Microsoft technologies beyond SQL Server and SQL Azure. I know that the entire SQL Server team echoes my thanks.

Zend Developer Zone:
Jump In Camp - Who is here and what are they doing?
Jun 22, 2011 @ 16:14:15

On the Zend Developer Zone Cal Evans has a new post looking at an event Microsoft is holding this week, the SQL Server Jump In! Camp, and who's there and what's going on:

This is a different kind of Camp, the focus is on writing code, not necessarily learning new techniques. That is not to say that there isn't learning, showcasing and demoing going on, but it is obviously not the focus of the week.

Projects that are represented at the camp include PEAR, Frapi, CakePHP, Zend Framework, VoceComm and Agavi. One of the main focuses of the week-long event is to get SQL server support introduced into each of the projects and to have it ready to ship by the end of the week. Some projects have already released their SQL server support.

Zend Developer Zone:
Microsoft's second SQL Server Jump In Camp
Jun 21, 2011 @ 16:01:35

On the Zend Developer Zone today there's a new post from Cal Evans about the SQL ServerJump In Camp that's happening near the Microsoft offices in Seattle. It's an event bringing together developers from 10+ projects all around the PHP community to work on PHP itself.

If you follow Microsoft and PHP then you aren't surprised that Microsoft is yet again getting PHP developers together to talk. However, if you don't pay attention, you may be surprised at how interested Microsoft is in PHP and the projects built on top of it. It is that latter interest, projects built on PHP, which is the focus of this week's camp.

As Cal points out, this isn't a typical get-together kind of event - the focus is on the code and developers are actively working during coding sessions to try to meet some expectations by the end of the week. The Zend Developer Zone will post updates about the event during the week including articles, interviews and podcasts.
