How it Works »
The computer is a brilliant tool. It can carry out nearly any task you want it to do, as long as you know how to write the code to communicate your ideas effectively. In the Microsoft Coded Creations Contest, we’re celebrating that skill with a contest for projects that are code-based. The project you build can be simple or complex — we just want to see what code-driven creations you come up with.
We’re giving away an amazing collection of prizes, including a Lenovo Yoga 3 laptop, a Surface Pro 3 with Type Cover, 5 Canon G16 cameras, Spark prototyping bundles, and more. There is a special judges prize for best use of Visual Studio, Microsoft Azure, Kinect/Xbox, Windows Phone apps, or any Windows app. Check out #idevthis  for inspiration and let the programming begin!
