On April 6th, Make Web Not War is planning their second Windows 8 workshop alongside some of your favorite Toronto user groups: DevTO, HTML5 Toronto, and JavaScript Toronto. This one will focus on highlighting applications and games built using javascript and web technologies.
There will be a couple of excellent speakers coming in from the local community including Mark Levy and Tasveer Singh. Along with speakers throughout the morning, you’ll take part in a code-along to learn how to build Windows 8 applications using web tools. You’ll have access to experts provide 1-1 support to answer questions about using frameworks, best practices for user experience, and server side solutions for managing your application’s data.
If you think you have a great idea, there will be an application showcase competition where you’ll have a chance to win a Surface RT. Simply submit the URL of your idea hosted on a Microsoft platform (Like the free trial of Azure) to win8wsapps@outlook.com where you’ll be added to a list of presenters to be given a 2 minute “Best At” style pitch where the audience will be the judge, not just the ones there but also those online. We will be streaming the whole event as well so you can have friends and colleagues help vote for you too, but if you can join in person you’ll have a great event!
Ticket price will be $5 and for those that register by March 30th, you’ll be entered to win an Xbox & Kinect Bundle.
