Publish and be Great
/Most developers have them. Things that they have made, probably pretty much finished, but then other stuff came up and they never got around to shipping them. And all it would take is a bit of effort just to get the thing out of the door and into the store.
Publish is for these projects. It's a worldwide event for Windows Store developers to get together and head for the finish line. It runs over the 16-17th of May and I'm nipping over to the event in Manchester to join fellow MVPs and developers in getting stuff finished.
From my experience with Three Thing Game, Global GameJam and Hacked I know that it is amazing just how much you can get done in a short time if you just focus on a single task. Of course it also helps if you are surrounded by folks all doing the same thing, and that you get pizza and fizzy drinks (the fuel of champion developers the world over).
If you want to join us in Manchester you can sign up here. There are events planned all over the world, you can find a local event and take part here. You can even set up your own local event if you want, or just take part from the comfort and security of your own desk.
I'm really looking forward to it. Perhaps that Windows 8 version of Cheese Lander might actually see the light of day.........
