Meet Akinwale Ariwodola, Nigeria’s First Windows 8 App Developer

Windows 8 is here! So this week, Microsoft annouced Nigeria’s first Windows 8 Apps developed by Akinwale Ariwodola. He developed two Windows 8 Applications: MovieTimes and ClassicRSS , with a few more under development.

With support for several cinemas across Nigeria, MovieTimes helps you find out show times for movies and schedule movie events on your Hotmail calendar so that you’ll never miss a movie again.

ClassicRSS is a simple feed reader which provides a familiar interface for reading updates from your news and entertainment sources. Subscribe to your favourite RSS feeds and read the updates the same way you read your mail. You can also search through your RSS feeds and share links with your contacts by mail, Twitter, Facebook and other share targets on your device.

Akinwale is an exceptional developer and has been a good mentor to other developers in the region.
