The success story of Abiola, the Chief Executive Officer of Gamsole, a mobile game apps development company that currently develops games for Windows phone mobile and Windows 8 PC must be interesting to any start-up in the technology ecosystem. The software code warrior whose games has over 9 million downloads around the world linked his story to the support and mentorship of Microsoft Nigeria. Recalled that Gamsole added 19 games from creativity to casual games to its inventions and has on its stable, 36 apps. Abiola who has won several recognitions, including the 2010 winner of the Microsoft Imagine Cup software competition in Nigeria while narrating his success story said that, “I started coding at age 15 and later went to the University to study Computer Science. “With my mentorship by one of Microsoft’s finest developer platform evangelists as one of Microsoft Student Partners, in 2010 together with my team, we won the Imagine Cup national finals in Nigeria and went on to represent Nigeria at the Microsoft Imagine Cup Finals in Poland. From then, I have been able to develop myself to become an entrepreneur to reckon with in the technology space. “Growing up in Nigeria, I was always going to the Microsoft office to get support from the evangelist. This is something you don’t see on other platforms. I got involved with Microsoft when a couple of technology evangelists came to my school, and the interaction with them led me into taking technology and software programming seriously. “First of all, Microsoft developer tools have the best support and online developer community. Hence, learning any of these tools is very easy compared to other platforms. As a student, I was very surprised at how fast I was able to learn frameworks like XNA game studio and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). source vanguard,read more.... http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/05/nigerian-tech-start-up-attributes-success-story-to-microsoft-support-mentorship/
