On Friday I’ll be at Duke University in Durham, NC to run a 24-hour Windows Hackathon. Here are all the details:

Our Hackathon is an open Windows 8 code fest. Code to your heart’s content and get familiar with all of the great Windows 8 features. It’s the perfect opportunity to get your dream application underway, or to finish that app you’ve already started.

This 24-hour event will be filled with coding, sharing and plenty of food. Bring your own laptop installed with Windows 8 RTM (90-day evaluation), your apps and your cool ideas and get ready to create! At the end of the hackathon, you’ll get to show-off your app. The best apps will walk away with prizes! (Prepare for the hackathon and come to the Windows 8 Session on Thursday!)

Start Time: Friday, September 21, 6pm

End Time: Saturday, September 22, 6pm

Location: Room 203,  Nello L. Teer Building (parking information <– I recommend Parking Deck IV)

Can’t wait to get started on developing apps and games for Windows 8? I know, me too!! To help you get started, sign up for 30 to Launch to get tips and tricks in your inbox that will help you take your app from idea to in-store.
