• And the winner is.. (TG 2008)

  First of all, thanks to everyone attending the workshop at the Gathering 2008. It was great seeing that so many out there are interested in learning technologies such as Xna. We've already started talking about next year and how we can reach out to even more and create an even better workshop. 2 two days after the workshop, a competition was held. The first place went to TKOC and took home an Xbox 360 Halo 3 edition. The second place went to Cobraz who could take home a Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. Congratulations to you both. Thanks to our sponsor; Microsoft (MSDN), for making the workshop and providing the prizes for the competition. We're still working on getting all the material placed in the download section, so please keep your eye on the directory dedicated for the Gathering 2008.
