We hosted a Windows 8-themed #OpenNight yesterday with great success. Silicon Beach’s growing digital community gathered at immedia HQ to explore Microsoft’s latest software and hardware updates, which are taking the world by storm. Some of our devs introduced the audience to Windows 8, sharing all they’ve learnt about what’s not merely a software update, but a complete revamp of the Windows operating system.
One of our technical partners, Matt Cavanagh of Roguecode showcased Microsoft’s Surface tablet and shared his experience developing for Windows 8. The brand new iPad mini was also on display, giving the Apple enthusiasts in the room something to drool over. With it’s portability, power and built-in apps, the iPad mini brings a new kind of experience for iPad fans in need of a smaller package.
It was an awesome night of technological playthings and a great opportunity to build and strengthen the Silicon Beach community. One of the attendees, Daryl Bangar said: “An entertaining and insightful evening with knowledgeable speakers – a truly commendable effort to bring technology to the local community. Well done, immedia!”. Another guest, Adushan Govender added: “Last night was awesome. The highlight was finding out that you could run Windows 8 on any computer, just not Pentium 2s.”
