Game developers unite in Edmonton, Ottawa, and Vancouver (or just online!)
Games are some of the most popular downloaded apps on mobile platforms and they are just plain fun to build! Get a jump start on building a cool game in person, or with some great online resources.
Finally, we can get serious about games! Join us at the Windows 8 Gaming Development Clinics, we’re visiting three cities: Edmonton, Ottawa, and Vancouver. We’ll cover core Windows 8 features, development best practices, and cross-platform guidance for deploying your games.
