We help companies build better software
Custom Software, Developer Training & CODE Magazine
Located in Houston, TX, CODE's primary division is devoted to custom software development, consulting and mentoring.
CODE Consulting has top-level experts in all relevant .NET technologies - either directly on staff, or accessible through one of our large networks, such as our CODE Magazine authors, our trainers, or through Microsoft MVP and RD networks. We do not claim to know everything, but we do claim to have access to the top-experts!
CODE Consulting focuses on writing software applications using Microsoft .NET and server technologies, including rewriting legacy applications (Visual FoxPro, Visual Basic, etc). However, our services also extend into non-Microsoft technologies such as Apple iOS and Android development. For a complete list of our services, and a general overview of our consulting division, please visit our consulting page:

Vision and Scope Project Analysis
During the month of May, get 25% off your Vision & Scope!That's $2,500 in savings!
A Vision & Scope Workshop is the first step toward a successful project. Think of these workshops as brainstorming meetings during which all project stakeholders get together and discuss the overall vision for a project in order to determine the important aspects, boundary conditions, potential timeframe, priorities, and wants versus needs. This vision is then prioritized and split into multiple phases. Key challenges are identified, and existing staff, resource capabilities and risks are analyzed.
We assist in Vision & Scope Workshops by adding our experience and expertise by bringing up key issues, helping to judge feasibility of certain aspects, and by suggesting technologies and techniques as well as appropriate approaches. We also use our experience earned from other projects to help judge effort levels and required skills.
So don't wait! Get 25% off your Vision & Scope today and hit the ground running!
Email us or call 832-717-4445 ext. 13 for more information!

Lunch with CODE
The concept is simple...
CODE Training and Consulting will provide a free lunch and lecture for your development team. We’d like the opportunity to discuss today’s technologies; and we figure there’s no better way to do that than over lunch. Simply choose the lunch your group would like and whether you’d like us to deliver to your offices, you visit us in Northwest Houston or have us present remotely.>
Who says there's no such thing as a free lunch?!?
