MonkeySpace @ NERD – the official cross platform and open-source .NET conference

MonkeySpace, formerly known as Monospace, is the official cross platform and open-source .NET conference. Want to learn more about developing for the iPhone, Android, Mac, and *nix platforms using .NET technologies? How about developing games or learning more about open-source projects using .NET technologies? MonkeySpace has provided an annual venue to collaborate, share, and socialize around these topics and more.

MonkeySpace will be held at the Microsoft NERD Center located in Boston, MA one of the most historic cities in the United States. We also negotiated a group rate at the Boston Marriott Cambridge to allow everybody who attends to stay at the same hotel.

I will be presenting on the topic of using MonoGame to create games for Windows 8 and what you have to do to meet the criteria to get your game into the Windows 8 store. For some background you can read these posts:

• Windows 8, XNA and MonoGame – Part 1, Overview
• Windows 8, XNA and MonoGame - Part 2, Getting Started
• Windows 8, XNA and MonoGame - Part 3, Getting Windows 8 Store Ready

Hope to see you there! –bob
