The format will be the same as the Windows Phone Camp earlier this year, and there will be pizza…

Along with the event Microsoft will also be selecting applications and games produced by students to be fast-tracked into the Windows 8 Marketplace. Places for this are strictly limited and each proposal will be assessed individually. If you want to get involved with this, step one is to join the Windows 8 developers Linkedin Group for UK developers http://linkd.in/ukw8apps. If you are a student and you aren’t on Linkedin you should be. Once you have signed up and joined the group you can start putting together ideas for a Windows 8 program to pitch.
