About DeveloperMedia

Our Mission

DeveloperMedia’s mission is to be part of both the advertising and software development community and act as a bridge between advertisers, brand marketers, and developers.

Our goal is to help companies deliver the most effective and influential messages to Software Developers and to connect software and hardware vendors with developers to foster a positive, informative and respectful conversation.

We accomplish this by assembling the finest group of creative and technical minds and tasking them with building excellence in technical marketing, in creativity, and in technology to ultimately deliver excellence in the ad experience.

Our Story

DeveloperMedia was founded by Chris Maunder and David Cunningham—two people who are passionate about software development but came together from opposite directions. Together, they started one of the most popular software development websites in the world, CodeProject.com, which has grown to include 14.6 million software developers as members.

In response to an overwhelming demand for advertising properties and products, DeveloperMedia was created and grew to represent more than 100 websites, projects and blogs through a combination of acquisitions, organic growth and strategic partnerships.

Today, DeveloperMedia works closely with major companies to help them define, refine, and deliver their messages to the global software development community. Some clients include Amazon, Cisco, Google, IBM, Intel and Microsoft.

DeveloperMedia is the manifestation of the founders’ passions: a passion for helping create great software and for helping build great companies.
