Maarten Balliauw has an invitation from Microsoft to all of the PHP developers out there - come be a part of Jump In!, a European developer's camp aimed at bringing the two worlds - PHP and Microsoft - closer together.

The Jump In! Developers' Camp is designed primarily for open-source application developers who are interested in increasing their skills in a range of specific areas. Here they will be able to experiment with ways of combining open-source technologies with Microsoft products to optimize applications.

Experts will be on hand to provide advice on building applications on Microsoft platforms (like Azure, IIS and Silverlight). The developers who create the most "buzz" around their applications will be selected to spend four days at the Panorama Resort & Spa Feusisberg in Switzerland April 6th through the 9th or 10th. The contest is only open to Europeans so if that's you and the idea of it all sounds interesting, head over to the Jump In! site and sign up now!
