Windows 8 is scheduled to be released in October this year and with it comes a whole new infrastructure for creating and publishing custom applications for Windows powered devices. If you want in on the fun, look no further than the Windows 8 Hackathons scheduled across Canada this summer:
From the souce:
“We are announcing our Windows 8 Hackathons coming up in August! Come to our App Building with Windows 8 Hackathons with your laptop/device/desktop with Windows 8 and the developer tools already installed and you will:
- Spend 8 hours with other developers and designers learning about creating apps based on mini-scenarios from Microsoft evangelists as well as learn about the Windows Store.
- Have plenty of time to work on your own apps and have folks there to help answer questions you may have. We will keep presentations short so that you have more time to work on your app.
- Find out how you can get free guidance by one of our Microsoft engineers for your app who can help make sure you have built the best quality app and enable a smoother transition into the Windows Store.
Space is limited but the event is FREE!”
