CUSEC rocked

  • Artigo

Last weekend, Microsoft participated in CUSEC, where we talked to students about jobs at Microsoft, Imagine Cup, and developing for Windows Phone. Oscar Guerrero shares his thoughts on the event and some of the resources that were of interest to the students who attended.

As the recruiters carried back an encyclopaedia's worth of resumes, and our team compared notes on the great conversations we had about developing with Microsoft platforms, we couldn’t help but realize, CUSEC was a great event. Our thanks to the organizers for letting us participate. More importantly, thank you to the students who stopped by our booth to find out more about Imagine Cup and the Developer Movement. We were amazed by how passionate the students are, the brilliant work shown at DemoCamp, and the varied, interesting conversations we had.

Special thanks to those who tried and eventually succeeded at beating my personal record in Kinect Fruit Ninja!

We hope you left with a better picture of how much fun it is to work at Microsoft, how good the windows phone platform actually is, and how to get free stuff from us like Xbox, Kinect and Windows Phones. They are only a phone app away!

Here are the links we mentioned during our talks and tutorial:

To keep up with what’s happening for Students in Canada:

For more information and to register for Imagine Cup

For tools and information about developing for windows phone

Hope they are of use to you and we expect to see all of your phone apps soon on the Marketplace!

For those who are thinking of attending next year. It is definitely worth it.

Hopefully we will see you at CUSEC 2013!
