It’s a great weekend for coding…

Hi everyone!

We only have 2 weeks until the App Challenge submission deadline (August 14th). Now’s the time to turn that app idea into reality. Here are some things you should do to make that happen.

Download Spiceworks: Developer Edition. It needs to run in a Windows environment, but if you don’t have that, we can likely help. Just email us.
Visit our site for developers (like you!) filled with tips on getting started, documentation, and more.
Come to office hours with questions. For the next two weeks, we’ll have an open office hour almost daily.…

Office hour next week - see you there!

Hi Everyone!

We know we've got quite a few non-US developers interested in participating in our App Challenge, so we're having an office hour on Tuesday, July 21st, at 10pm US CT. Sign up here and you can convert the time to your local time zone. :-)

We'll demo a previous winning app - as well as a few others. Plus, we want to hear what you're working on, answer any questions you have, and see if there's anything else we can do to help you out.

See a winning app in this week’s office hour!

On Thursday, 7/9, at 4pm US CT, we’re hosting an online office hour of sorts.

We’ll demo a winning app from a previous contest, so you can see exactly what the IT pros in Spiceworks are looking for – from devs like you. Plus, we’ll have some time to answer any questions you might have about developing apps, the Spiceworks platform, or the Spiceworks App Center.

See you there! :-)

We'll also show off the app that won the last Spiceworks App Center challenge.
