Windows Camp 3: how it was + new courses on MVA
Just a couple of weeks ago, on September 12, we had a third (already traditional) Windows Camp , which gathered more than 500 participants on the spot and more than 25,000 online. Many thanks to everyone who listened to us and watched, talked with us and supported us in social networks!
The very first Windows Camp was dedicated to the first preview versions of Windows 8, on the second we shared key information on the eve of the release of the final versions of Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 (this was a year ago).

The third campaign has grown both in content and on topics: 4 tracks, more than 20 reports, added Windows Azure and, as always, fresh information that should help you keep up with the latest market trends and get ready for the final version of Windows in a timely manner. 8.1. We also used the experience of our partner summit events (for example, Windows 8 Summit) and added panel discussions in which our partners shared their development experience for Microsoft platforms.
The content part began traditionally with the discovery, in which Alexander Lozhechkin told in which direction Microsoft is moving and how remarkably our ecosystem is growing.
We are also pleased that Windows 8 in Russia is growing at an active pace and, according to LiveInternet, has already crossed the bar of 2.6 million users surfing the Internet every day!
Here we should also note the excellent indicative results of many of our partners, here are a few such examples:
And we lit a light bulb through Windows Azure!
Viewers online, by the way, actively tried to take control of the light bulb :)
After the opening, separate tracks of the conference began to work, during which our partners, internal and external experts began to share:
* with my experience and first results (by the way, I recommend everyone to look closely at this session about business with applications):
* innovations in Windows 8.1 for users:
* new ways to monetize (hello to our friends at PayOnline!):
* experience and earnings with Windows Azure:
* features of corporate development:
* pains and pains of developers (here Stas says that we heard you):
* phone photo-camera innovations:
* magic and tricks:
* as well as monetization and promotion practices:
And very, very, very much more than that!
At the same time, there was an exhibition area in which it was possible not only to hang out, but also
* View live devices on Windows 8.1:
* try new Nokia phones yourself:
* control the ball from the phone:
* chat with our Windows Azure experts:
* or Visual Studio specialists:
* give an interview to our correspondents from the fields:
* and, of course, take a picture with your favorite tiles!
The rest of the photos are available in our group on Facebook .
Many thanks to everyone who helped make Windows Camp!
Records of reports are traditionally available on TechDays .
We also arranged the main reports in the form of courses for MVA (our main online learning platform, within which you can not only watch the recordings, but also prove your knowledge, earning points and achievements).

2. New features for developing applications with Windows 8.1 (HTML)
1. Advanced development capabilities for Windows Phone 8
1. Security and authentication in modern applications using Window Azure
2. Organization of a cloud environment for developing and testing applications
3. Introduction to the development of modern applications with Windows Azure for beginners

Here we should also note the excellent indicative results of many of our partners, here are a few such examples:
- VKontakte’s Windows Phone audience on a daily basis already accounts for more than 700 thousand people, and over the past 6 months the audience has grown three times;
- Smesharikov's application on Windows Phone has 30% more installations than on iOS, and twice as many internal purchases than on Android;
- JoyBits' Doodle God and Doodle Devil games have more than 2.5 million installations on Windows platforms;
- Game Country from GameInsight, released in November, has more than 1.7 million installations, and Rule the Kingdom, released in summer, has already crossed a half-million threshold;
- Chaos Control, a popular application, has a higher yield on Windows platforms than on Android, while users of Windows platforms use in-app purchases even more actively than on iOS!
