We Are Microsoft | Texas Discovery Gardens

January 20, 2008 · 1 min read

index_pic In this interview, Doug and I speak with Zach Young and Jay Smith from the Northwest Arkansas.NET User Group, who are part of the team helping Texas Discovery Gardens build a brand new web site to teach people effective ways to restore, conserve and preserve nature in the urban environment through the use of native and adapted plants that illustrate the interrelationship of Butterflies, Bugs and Botany.

Texas Discovery Gardens had a web site in the past that was approximately 10 years old, but it was so under-maintained and antiquated that they were forced to pull it down. This event is enabling them to make their presence known once again, and by taking advantage of the latest development tools available. They are using DotNetNuke primarily for their implementation, which will allow for a fast and clean implementation, but the great advantage it will bring is the long-term ease of use for the charity itself. They mention in their interview that they were able to begin the design and preliminary implementation effort on their drive from Northwest Arkansas.
