Wavefront & Microsoft Workshop: How HTML5, Windows 8 & WP8 Play Together

Wavefront and Microsoft are back with hands-on coding workshops! Calling all developers and designers – we are here to support your app building and get you prepared to submit it to the Windows Phone Store.

In just over two years, the Windows Phone Store has grown to well over 135,000 apps and games with no sign of slowing down. With an application ecosystem that continues to accelerate, now is the time to build new apps for the platform and port existing apps to Windows Phone Store.

Responding to the increased traction of HTML5, this workshop will give you an in-depth look at HTML5 and Windows Phone, and how the two can play together. We will also see how HTML5 factors into the development for Windows 8 and how web developers can leverage their skills in this space.

Who should attend?

  • Developers with an iOS or Android app ready to port to Windows Phone and/or Windows 8
  • Web developers interested in learning about how HTML5 can be used on Windows Phone and Windows 8
  • Mobile app developers interested in learning how to get into the mobile web with hybrid apps for Windows Phone and native HTML apps for Windows 8
  • Experienced developers wanting to learn more about the Windows Phone opportunity
  • Previous Windows Code Camp attendees – we have taken your feedback into account and will provide deep dives and new content!

Why develop apps for Windows Phone?

  • Showcase your apps that may be buried or lost in other saturated stores
  • Increase your reach to a new audience of early adopters looking for great apps
  • Windows Phone developers are well supported and rewarded, check out http://www.developermovement.com/ for details (Developer Movement will be returning soon)
