Robbie Bach Uni Talk
Posted by Michael in Games, Programming, Students, Xbox 360 on January 31st, 2010
Robbie Bach, President of Microsoft’s Entertainment and Devices division is giving a public talk at the University of Sydney on Tuesday 9th February 2010.
For any readers who are in Sydney, this would be a great event to attend. E&D covers everything from the XBOX to the Surface, even Keyboards + Mice from MS hardware.
Hopefully there will be a Natal unit on display, and maybe a demo, although no confirmation yet.
RSVP by emailing kumarman[at]microsoft.com
Get Great Benefits from the MSP Program
Just a quick break from the regular programming (haha) to let every reader of this blog know that the Microsoft Student Partner program is open for signups.
If you are a student in tertiary education (University etc) then you can apply for the role by going to http://student-partners.com and following the instructions there.
Benefits vary per country, however the common one seems to be that you get a free MSDN Universal subscription, which gives you access to every piece of MS software you could want. (As long as it relates to development)
I have been a student partner for 2 years now, and I am really enjoying the experience. you meet like minded students from your country and get into some really awesome and at times exclusive events. Here in Australia we get free access to TechEd AU, and even get into exclusive XBOX parties. One big event of note this year was the local Windows 7 launch, which many MSPs from Sydney attended.
Tons of benefits, and plenty of reasons to join, so why don’t you?
