  ## History
  
  CoDe Magazine was started in 1999, by Rick Strahl and EPS Software’s President Markus Egger. The first three issues of the magazine were written in German, and originally published in Austria (then called Software Developer Magazine). Shortly after the original three issues were published, .NET technologies became a primary focus for the magazine as Microsoft was beginning to phase out Visual FoxPro. In 1999, CoDe Magazine’s parent company, EPS Software, moved its headquarters to Houston, where it is still located.
  
  EPS Software and CODE participate in community developer events and frequently support Code Camps, or code and development camps put on by the community to help promote software development.
