Code7 is a special coding contest for developers. "It is a way for you to cash in on your knowledge and skills" said Yochay Kiriaty, Windows 7 Technical Evangelist, in a Windows Blog team post.
To enter:
Build an original, consumer-oriented client application prototype that runs natively on Windows 7 (for example Win32, WPF, MFC or WinForms – not an Air application or just a gadget) and addresses one or more of the following topic categories:
* Simplify My Life
* More Media, More Places
* Gaming
* Work From Anywhere
* Safeguard Your Work
* Applications for a Better Tomorrow
The application must use at least one of the following Windows 7 technology features; however, judging will give more weight to entries that take advantage of more than one of these features:
* Libraries
* Windows Touch
* Shell Integration
* DX11 (DirectX 11)
* Sensor and Location Platform
The contest starts now and ends at 11:59 p.m. PT on October 10, 2009. In order to enter you must create and submit a video in which you describe and demonstrate your application.
For the complete contest rules please visit the rules section on the Code7 Contest Web site - https://www.code7contest.com/.
