We are hosting this twitter party just before the Windows phone camp to tell you all about our competition named "Apps for a Cause"
The contest, “Apps for a Cause”, is being organized by the Microsoft Egypt Citizenship team and is a sub-competition being introduced for developers attending the Microsoft Windows Phone Camp.
To participate in the “Apps for a Cause” competition, you are supposed to develop an application that has the main goal of helping the community and addressing one of the world’s major problems.
Any student or attendee who is attending the Phone Camp and has the ability to develop a functional application for Windows Phone can participate.
We will be more than happy to answer all your questions and provide you with all the information you need.
