Windows Central has provided some forums areas just for developers. These areas are for you to showcase your apps, run beta tests, we even have a developer hidden area where developers can discuss app development without interference.

Join our Developer Program: To join this group you must be a current developer with at least one app available in the Marketplace. You can qualify with an app in Beta or available via .xap if you don't have anything published. To join the group just post in this thread and add a link to your app. We will add you to the group. Links to apps via xap are subject to review before entering this program.

Benefits of joining the Windows Central Developers group:

  • Access to the Developer Beta Test Area. We have a developer beta test area open to all developers. Please do post your beta test apps. We encourage you to gather email addresses for addition to you beta test. We do not allow posting of email addresses in open forum so members will need to contact you via the Windows Central Private Message system to provide their emails addresses. Just tell members to PM you their email addresses you can add this to your post in the Beta Test forum area.
  • Access to the Developer Spotlight Area. This is the place for you to post your marketplace apps. We know how hard it is to get the word out about your apps.
