Developers will have the option of submitting Apps
in over 20 categories ranging from food, finance productivity, books, social,
photo, music and video and shopping. An onsite staff will be available to
assist Windows 8 AppFest participants with preparing their apps for eventual
submission to the Windows Store.
The Release to Manufacturing (RTM) version of
Windows 8 will be made available to developers attending the Apps Fest for
Windows 8, who will also have the option of bring their own team of a total of
4 people to build Apps. This gives developers early access to prepare Apps and
products for the Windows 8 global launch. The Windows 8 App Fest is therefore
an international opportunity, for developers to build their Apps, which will
then be available for download across the world through the Windows 8
marketplace.
In the words of Bhaskar Pramanik, Chairman, Microsoft India, “We are very excited
to invite the very talented developer community to the Windows 8 AppFest, the
Olympics for Developers. The AppFest will be a memorable and unique opportunity
to mingle with Microsoft engineers, programming specialists, trainers, and
industry-recognized app developers to drive innovation globally. We at
Microsoft are creating an environment and platform that offers the biggest
opportunity in history for developers to seize and lead innovation by building
successful applications on Windows platform.”
