Tomorrow, Tuesday 5/21/13, from 5-6pm @ UCross 153, iPipeline will be talking to us about their native mobile app development process. They will also be providing the food as well, so bring a friend. Enjoy

Tomorrow, we’re having Rob Ross of eMoney Advisors give us a talk on building mobile web apps. His synopsis follows:

You don’t need to learn three frameworks and two dozen libraries to build a web app that can go toe to toe with it’s native brethren. In the land of mobile, less is more. Let’s cut the bloat of large payloads and tons of third party dependencies.

Taking a minimalist approach, we’ll roll our own single page JavaScript app to handle routing and rendering. We’ll efficiently request and pre-request data from the server. Finally, we will embellish our app with some silky-smooth animations and transitions courtesy of CSS3.

Usual time and place: 5-6pm @ University Crossings 153.

In the spirit of all things awesome, there will be food in need of consumption.

Hi All,

Greetings!

I am reaching out to you because we would like to let you know that we will be reviewing applications from students at your university within the next few weeks.  This is a limited opportunity and we want to make sure your students are considered. As you may know, some of the work done by our teams over the past few years is now becoming visible to the public in such products as Windows 8, Microsoft Surface, Windows Phone 8, Office 365, and the newest release by our Game Studios, Halo 4.  These are only a few areas showcasing the impact your students will have on the world and its millions of users through high quality engineering and thoughtful design.  Technology is moving at a rapid pace and we would like to invite your most talented students to join our high caliber teams on this journey of achieving ever new milestones.

Exciting opportunities

We are actively recruiting for our full-time software development positions and are looking for students who are:

• B.S., M.S., and PhD students with an expected graduation date of no later than 9/2013
• Pursuing studies and/or research in areas of Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or similar field
• Deeply passionate about technology and making an impact in the world

Students are encouraged to apply for these positions at www.microsoft.com/university/software as soon as possible (ideally by November 30^th) as we are interviewing and hiring now.  We anticipate that most of next year’s available positions (i.e. a start date following one’s graduation this fall or next spring) will be filled by February.

Helpful resources

We also want to make you and your students aware of the following resources aimed at helping with preparing for technical interviews at any company.

Show Your Gaming Chops vs. Microsoft Kinect Creative Director Kudo Tsunoda

Thursday Nov 15th 4PM – 6:30PM
Bossone Research Center (3140 Market St.)

If you’ve spent late nights trying to conquer a Kinect for Xbox 360 game or battled your roommates in EA Sports’ Fight Night games, then you’ve played games developed by Kudo Tsunodo. Kudo will be visiting us on Thursday November 15^th. He has created video games for industry giants, served as the creative director of Kinect for Xbox 360, and currently is Microsoft’s Corporate Vice President for Next Gen Experiences. He’s created Gears of War 2, Forza 3, Kinect Star Wars, Kinect Adventures, Army Men: Air Attack, and EA Sports Fight Night. In addition to Kudo telling us about the future of gaming and how he goes about developing great games, we’ll also host a video game tournament where you can face off against Kudo and your fellow Drexel students.

The tournament will be on Thursday, November 15^h at 4PM and the lecture will follow at 6:30 PM, with both events at the Bossone Research Center (3140 Market St.). The winner of the 16-player tournament will challenge Kudo later in the evening for bragging rights and a worthy grand prize.  Kudo chose Kinetc sports v.1 400-meter hurdles for the competition and we’ll have consoles set up so players can warm up, followed by a session to seed everyone prior to the tournament.

During Kudo’s 15 years in the video game industry, he has designed such genre-defining features as “Fight Night’s” Total Punch Control system and the Army Men Air Attack Winch Mechanic. His games have grossed more than $1 billion dollars worldwide including several #1 selling titles; Kinect for Xbox 360 is the Guinness Book of World Records record holder for the fastest selling consumer electronic device in history.  This event is co-sponsored by the Kal & Lucille Rudman Institute for Entertainment Industry Studies, the Game Art & Production program, and the College of Engineering’s Computer Science Department. For more information on the tournament, email Zeek Weil at zw36@drexel.edu.
