Join us for a series of weekly workshops at both our Cambridge (Boston) and Farmington (Hartford) office locations where we'll help you get your first (or second, or tenth!) application published to the Windows Store - and you get to Keep the Cash!

We'll be running five-hour workshops each Saturday with two different focuses: casual games and API mashups. Come once or come often, and bring your laptop with Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2012 (Express for Windows 8) to make the most of the opportunity.

The fun begins this Saturday and continues through the end of June; follow the links below to register separately for each event:

Farmington CT		Cambridge MA

May 4	May 11		May 11
June 1	June 8	May 18	June 1

Not close to either of these locations? Know of some friends or co-workers that would commit to attending one closer to you – perhaps at your own office? Let me know, and we can try to arrange one in your area!
