Re:Xamarin is now free for students on Wednesday November 05, 2014 @04:42PM (#8564447)
I believe it's available to all students, regardless of location, as long as you are in a degree- or diploma-granting course of study :)
Sometimes you can do the cold approach. As a 20 year-old college student, I really just wanted some career guidance to be able to eventually do what I wanted, work in the mobile-sphere. All I did was ask in IRC, and a few phone calls later I had myself an internship.

I realize this method is probably a lot more suited for the younger, college crowd, and it certainly won't work at every startup, but it worked for me!

You may want to check out something like SQLite-Net: https://github.com/praeclarum/sqlite-net

Really easy to setup and get up and running!

Sorry for the late response! I don't really sell anything among my friends, but I may be able to find some beta testers!

And the student groups link: http://www.digitaltrends.com/social-media/facebook-refocuses...

Sorry for the crappy article, it's what Google brought up!

Why did you choose to support Windows Phone instead of Android? With limited resources it seems like a waste of time for such a small percentage of market share.

That being said, I don't think the concept is as bad as others are making it out to be. As a college student, I know TONS of people who sell everything from textbooks to notes (might be a good pivot). Problem is, with the introduction of groups for universities, we have preset groups for stuff like this.

One thing I am worried about is a potential spam to groups that I'm in, which would only make me resent your project.

Good luck!
