Student Windows 8 App Madness–Bounty Program!
Joe Healy, Microsoft

Here’s a sweet promotion. Students who publish apps can get up to $100 each for up to five apps per submission period. Since students get into the Windows Store and get free dev tools via DreamSpark, this should be an easy win. Couple it with someone using a tool like GameMaker or some Win8 Design Templates , and the opportunities for a couple of fast, high quality apps are fantastic. Pass along to your favorite coder-student who wants some cash and a shot at more prizes. More..
