So you need an excuse to code?
The Windows product group has launched a contest to get people started with coding Windows. There will be several winners from around the world and everyone who submits something by 8/15/2009 will be eligible to win a $1000 gift card.
There are 7 guiding principles that the submitted applications need to address:
- Simplify My Life
- More Media, More Places
- Gaming
- Work from Anywhere
- Safeguard Your Work
- Applications for a Better Tomorrow
All entries should take advantage of one or more of the following technologies:
- Libraries
- Windows Touch
- Shell Integration
- DirectX 11
- Sensor and Location Platform
Check out the site for all the rules The Code7 Contest.
So go! I would suggest you get the Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 Beta 1 as there are some new Namespaces to help with new Windows 7 features.
I almost forgot you could get a free trip to the PDC
Good luck!
