Our AppInnovation contest
continues and we've started sending out Ultrabooks to contest entrants. We only
have 300 Ultrabooks to give away so please get your Round 1 entries in quick.
A reminder though: There are 7 categories, 6 for Windows Desktop apps and 1 for
Windows Store (metro) apps. Only Windows Desktop apps can be submitted to the Intel
AppUp store for the $1000 submission prize, so we strongly encourage you to focus
on a Windows Desktop rather than a Metro app.
Also: The
Android
at Play Contest continues with it's $25,000 prize. Less than a month to go,
so dive in a give it a try. We especially welcome first time Android devs.
Happy Thanksgiving, Canada. CodeProject HQ will be closed today due to Turkey
coma.
cheers,
