Microsoft Users DevCon returns to Trivandrum next weekend

The Kerala Microsoft Users Group (K-MUG) will be organising their next Developers Conference, DevCon 2012 on May 19, 2012 at the Park Centre in Technopark, Trivandrum. Billed as the largest Microsoft tech event in Kerala, DevCon 2012 would see a large number of software professionals engage and collaborate with Microsoft MVPs and other IT peers. The key attractions this time would be the Windows Phone and Windows 8 sessions.

Interacting with Kerala IT News, Sreejumon K P, one of the organisers, said, “There are three tracks on Windows Phone and I am sure this will attract many .NET developers into the Windows Phone ecosystem and application development. For the first time we are also doing a preview of Windows 8, the upcoming edition of the Windows Operating System from Microsoft, for the techies in Kerala.

Access Any Data Any Where, XNA based game development for Windows Phone, Visual Studio 11, Windows Phone App Development - HTML5, Hybrid & Cross Platform, ASP.NET Web APIs and Tips and Best Practices for Windows Phone Development are some of the sessions planned for the Developer Conference.

“We have an idea contest as well happening. The shortlisted attendees will present their ideas and a panel will select the top three ideas. The topper would get a Nokia Lumia 800 and all the great ideas will get support from Nokia to develop their application and submit in to Market place”, added Sreejumon.
