Windows 8 App Development Tutorial
by Harris Rasheed 23 Oct '12

23 Oct '12

Hi everyone, Microsoft is organizing the world’s first worldwide hackathon for Windows – WOWZAPP 2012. This event will run in dozens of countries around the globe – all on the one weekend – November 9-11 allowing developers and designers in the world to come together with one goal – to have fun, network and learn and to build apps and games for Windows. Microsoft is aiming to land this event in the Guinness book of World records as the largest event of its kind. WOWZAPP 2012 will also be held at the University of Waterloo! This is a great opportunity for you to build some applications for Windows 8 and get into a fresh new market with a guaranteed huge audience when there is still little competition. You will be part of a record breaking event and earn lots of prizes. You don’t want to miss this chance. In order to facilitate this event, a tutorial session will be held on the 25th October in DC 1350 from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm. This session will teach you how to develop applications on Windows 8 and get you prepared for the hackathon. We will create some simple projects that you will be able to expand afterwards. To register for the tutorial session sign up at Windows 8 App Development Tutorial. Ideally, please have your laptop setup with Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2012 already for this session. You can download both of them for free from DreamSpark. We recommend installing Windows 8 on a separate partition to take the most advantage of GPU acceleration and other features, but a virtual machine is fine as well. If you need, we will assist you with setting up Windows 8 and the development tools required. Food will be provided for free. Hope to see you there.

Addepar Info Session @Waterloo
by Robin Gow 29 Sep '12

29 Sep '12

Hi There - I lead recruiting at Addepar. We are a growing start-up based in Mountain View, Ca and have 3 all-star engineers from Waterloo on our engineering team. Addepar is fixing the infrastructure and analysis tools in finance. The way data is transmitted in the financial world is fundamentally broken (a lot of important data still only flows through paper statements), which means people can't understand their exposures, are vulnerable to fraud's like Madoff, and often pay huge fees for mediocre results. So far, we've had tremendous success, being adopted by some of the largest and most respected wealth managers in the world. We're well funded (>$20mm) by the top investors in Silicon Valley and New York like Peter Thiel, etc. Our team has a history of amazing success -- our founder Joe Lonsdale, founded Palantir. We're holding an info session on Thursday, 10/11 at 11:30AM (we'll be serving lunch) and holding on campus interviews the next day. Woud you be able to send out our flyer to the group on this list? Thanks so much, please let me know if you have any questions. Best, -- Robin Gow Addevangelist | Addepar <http://addepar.com/> 650-515-2685
