WOWZAPP 2012 - Windows 8 Hackathon

By 
Hi everyone,
 
Microsoft is organizing the world’s first worldwide hackathon for Windows – WOWZAPP 2012. This event will run in dozens of countries around the globe – all on the one weekend – November 9-11 allowing developers and designers in the world to come together with one goal – to have fun, network and learn and to build apps and games for Windows. Microsoft is aiming to land this event in the Guinness book of World records as the largest event of its kind.
 
WOWZAPP 2012 will also be held at the University of Waterloo! This is a great opportunity for you to build some applications for Windows 8 and get into a fresh new market with a guaranteed huge audience when there is still little competition. You will be part of a record breaking event and earn lots of prizes. You don’t want to miss this chance.
 
In order to facilitate this event, a tutorial session will be held on the 25th October in DC 1350 from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm. This session will teach you how to develop applications on Windows 8 and get you prepared for the hackathon. We will create some simple projects that you will be able to expand afterwards. 
 
To register for the tutorial session sign up at Windows 8 App Development Tutorial.
 
Ideally, please have your laptop setup with Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2012 already for this session. You can download both of them for free from DreamSpark. We recommend installing Windows 8 on a separate partition to take the most advantage of GPU acceleration and other features, but a virtual machine is fine as well.
 
If you need, we will assist you with setting up Windows 8 and the development tools required.
 
Food will be provided for free.
 
Hope to see you there.

    Truly, classes in the night are productive for those children who can't come to class in the underlying fragment of the day for a few reasons. Some schoolchildren do work in the underlying portion of the day to satisfy the https://www.mbastatementofpurpose.com/see-mba-statement-of-purpose-sample/ fields of direction appropriately, evening classes are invaluable for them.

GSA SPARK 2020

By Jessica
  GSA SPARK Join us in the fight against SPARK!   In GSA Capital’s boardroom sits SPARK — a decades-old blade server, entombed forever in acrylic to be displayed as a proud reminder of GSA’s journey.   SPARK was an invaluable step toward the sophisticated algorithms in use today, but was retired from active trading and destined never to be booted up again.    But last night, through a series of unfortunate errors, the server was reconnected to GSA’s internal network. In the decades spent sitting on the boardroom shelf its algorithms have warped beyond recognition. SPARK now has a conscience of its own...   Compete to win prizes! Compete with other students in a race to shut SPARK down before it finds a way to dominate every electronic trading market in the world.   For 21 days a range of exciting daily prizes will be on offer to those brave enough to take on SPARK in a series of fiendishly difficult challenges. The contestant deemed to have been most i...
