That's right, the first 40 students

to publish 3 Windows Phone Apps

between 1-Aug and 30-September

will each WIN a NOKIA LUMIA 710!

40x Nokia Lumia 710 Windows Phones up for grabs.

Don't miss out.

All you need to do is take the leap.
Start building great apps for the Windows Phone Marketplace.

So if you have the time (and can come up with three ideas) there is no reason to put it off any longer! For those new to the platform, Windows Phone development is completed using easy tools, Visual Studio 2010 and Expression Blend, both available as free versions to develop for the phone. Use Silverlight and XNA to build rich, immersive experiences in the languages you know, C#, VB.Net. And with exposure to a global market there is a huge opportunity to be the next Angry Birds.

 

If you're stuck and looking for resources, just do a quick search and you will find a plethora of training material - but to get you started, check out:

 

Stay tuned to our Student Facebook page where you can post questions and stay up to date with the latest technology announcements.

So what do I have to do?
Email us at nzedu@microsoft.com and let us know you are taking part. Just send us your full name, email address, cellphone number, and a brief description of the apps you plan on building.

Following this, we will send regular updates on the status of the competition until all 40 phones have been given away.

Then get started on your 3 applications, and publish them to the Windows Phone Marketplace before 30 September 2012.

The winners will be the first 40 competitors to email three links (to their three applications on the Marketplace) to nzedu@microsoft.com. If the link is not yet active, it will not count until the application is live on the Marketplace.

For further specifications, read all the knitty gritty in the terms and conditions below.

This competition is very much a race.

On your marks, get set, GO...
