Don’t be Timer76! Start coding and publishing Windows 8 apps now!

Windows StoreYou can publish an app to the Windows Store today. Getting your app in now, gives it a better chance to get noticed!

October 26th, 2012 Windows 8 becomes available to the public. People buying laptops, desktops, or some of the new hardware like Microsoft Surface will be running Windows 8. It won’t be long before they start searching the store for that perfect twitter application, a recipe organizer, or a puzzle game to help them pass the time at the doctor’s office or on the plane. If you’ve ever considered building an app for Windows 8, doing it sooner is better than doing it later. Your app has a better chance of getting downloaded if you get it into the store early when it is more likely to get noticed.

Not sure how to get started? We have a Getting Started with Windows 8 with links to a number of great resources and we’ll keep adding more as we find them.

We’ll be having hackathons across Canada as part of WOWZapp, a worldwide hackathon on the weekend of November 10th and 11th for those of you who want some company or help with your apps. Sites in Canada and registration for those sites will start appearing next week, so save the date!
