Event on 2013-05-21 18:00:00

Topic: How I became a Millionaire writing apps.

Abstract: We have a very special and unique Tampa Windows Phone User Group (Tampa WPUG) meeting planned being hosted at FirstWaVE Venture Center  on May 21 from 6-8. The speaker is James Vertisan. He has the #1 app for the windows phone (SHOTLY) and it’s also in the apple store. He’s become that entrepreneur that many app developers strive to be. He’s become a millionaire, and works between Tampa and Silicon Valley. He has mastered app development. His story is incredible and he’s very passionate about entrepreneurs in Tampa.

Prizes and Food: As if the speaker alone was not enough to attend this, we have several sponsors and incredible prizes for this FREE event. James, himself, will be bringing a Microsoft Surface to raffle off. With a crowd of over 25, a second will be offered up. He also has other goodies like Windows Phones. Bill Reiss will be providing some swag also as the new Nokia Developer Ambassador in the Southeast.  Tampa WPUG leader, Russ Fustino, has several O’Reilly books to give away, as well as a ComponentOne Ultimate Suite valued at over 00, including the largest collection of tools for Windows 8 in the world, as well as Windows Phone 8 controls and Wijmo for HTML5 and jQuery Development.  It should be one heck of a night. Food and soda will be supplied by Vaco and Nokia.
