Friends,
It’s a news again, Microsoft is back with the I Unlock Joy program 2nd Phase which starts from August 9th 2012 and ends by October 31st 2012 both for Developers and Students. With a lot of response from students and developers all over India, Microsoft has launched the 2nd phase with much more enhanced rules and regulations which they have failed in the 1st Phase of the campaign.
With the 2nd phase kick started a day before we can see the process for students and developers differs as it did with the 1st phase. As we start we need to register for the program and develop the applications with the latest Windows Phone SDK which can be downloaded directly from the links provided. The steps that are involved for Developers and students differs as students need a basic DreamSpark account to get registered and start developing the application. [more]
