WOWZAPP Hackathon Friday Nov. 9th
THIS EVENT WILL BE ON A SCHOOL DAY DURING CLASS HOURS
Microsoft will be hosting a worldwide hackathon with the release of Windows 8! The focus of the hackathon will be app development for Windows 8. With the release of Windows Surface RT and Windows 8 phone, Microsoft wants people to get a head start with developing applications on Windows 8.
If you're interested in this event, registration is free and they recommend that you bring a laptop with Windows 8 and Visual Studios 2012 installed. Not many of us have any real experience with app development, I myself have no experience at all, but this is a good chance to see other computer scientists come together and create something new. Technology is always advancing and there is always something new around the corner, so if you're interested please come and join us to learn something new, or if you have experience, come to share and receive ideas from others.
This is the registration website with more in-depth information on the event including time and place:

PS - Again, please note that this event is being hosted on a school day, so if you plan skipping class this is a decision on your own accord.
