Calling all developers and designers! With the announcement of Microsoft Surface, Microsoft Singapore is organizing a series of Hack Weekends for you to get started with Windows 8 Development.
Currently in Release Preview, Windows 8 is equipped with Windows Store for Singapore developers to publish their apps to the world. Be one of the first few to publish your application onto our latest operating system.
Dream. Build. Launch is a series of activities catered to the local developers in Singapore. In this series of Hack Weekend, we will help you turn your idea into a reality in 3 steps!
1. Dream –You have 60 seconds to pitch your app idea and gather interested team members. Learn about the capabilities of Windows 8, Microsoft Surface and the market potential of this new platform.
2. Build – You can create the prototype of your application with the assistance and guidance from our Developer Evangelist during the Hack Weekend, after which you can choose to complete your application over the next few weeks.
3. Launch – You can get exclusive access to developer token by demonstrating your prototype application to our engineers.
If you’ve already started on your Windows 8 app idea, do pop along, have some lunch, coffee, morning or afternoon tea. Ask your Windows 8 App question. Get your app into store. Become famous!
Don’t worry if you missed one of our earlier Developer Camps – Our friendly developer evangelists will be there to help you if you have any questions.
Spaces are limited – we want to keep it small and cozy, so remember to sign up today! We will be increasing the frequency of our series if the response is good 🙂
