app? Wouldn't an app look good on your resume? What if you
could build a cool app ready for Windows Store submission in a couple
hours? On February 15 join fun and friendly Jennifer Marsman of
Microsoft to use the latest tools from Microsoft. First you'll use
an awesome tool from Microsoft Research named Touch Develop to build your
app and once you done that you'll use Visual Studio to make another app.
Touch Develop, a scripting tool, runs in any
HTML 5 compliant browser to create your app for Windows 8. The
workshop will be located in UM-Dearborn, CIS 139 Lab and last from 8:30am
to 5pm. Microsoft is providing prizes as well as the ability to
publish your app to the Windows 8 store for free!
What
will you need to bring? Best would be your own Windows laptop with
Visual Studio. If you have Windows 8 that would be great, but if you
don't, that's okay. If you want to get Windows 8, please follow
this link to Win8 download page http://aka.ms/JenWin8 and the Visual
Studio 2012 for Win 8 page http://aka.ms/JenVS2012

very own Windows 8 app using Touch Develop and then Visual Studio
2012
