Additional Windows 8 Camps (US only) coming!
Missed some of the local Windows 8 Camps? More are on the way!
Via my teammate Chris Bowen…
I previously mentioned the series of Windows Developer Camps - free, full-day events to help you learn about building Metro-style apps for Windows 8. They feature a mix of developer sessions plus a series of hands-on labs to help reinforce what you’ve learned.
Well, it turns out they’re popular. So popular, in fact, that all of the Camps I listed earlier are full.
However, more are on the way! Coming soon to these cities:
Date Location Link May 22 Irving, TX Register May 23 Bellevue, WA Register May 24 Waltham, MA Register May 24 Chevy Chase, MD Register May 29 Minneapolis, MN Register June 1 New York, NY Register June 5 Downers Grove, IL Register Register soon, bring a PC with the Windows 8 Consumer Preview and Visual Studio 11 Beta installed, and enjoy Camp!
If you would prefer to go at your own paced in a self study environment all of the Windows 8 Camp content is now available for download. There are also virtual Windows 8 Camps happening via the upcoming MSDN Webcast Windows 8 Development series. Once you are settled into coding your next masterpiece let me know about it so I can help you get a Windows Store token.
