Student Holiday App Challenge

As the holidays are upon us there is an opportunity that Microsoft has put together for students to get a jump start on building a Windows 8 app, and get some cash from Microsoft in the process.  The Windows 8 Student Holiday App Challenge provides free software, in-depth instructional materials for students, and access to real-time support for building an app. Students who get even a simple app published to the store by January 20, 2013 will not only have learned some valuable skills and established real “street cred”, but will get a $100 gift card from Microsoft to help sweeten the deal.
