Windows Phone 7 Development Jump-Start Events

As part of our efforts to help developers get started with building their applications and games on the Windows Phone 7 platform we’re planning a couple of events in Redmond (May 18-19) and Silicon Valley (May 25-26).  If you’re interested, be sure to register using the links below.

Abstract

Get a jump-start on building apps for Windows Phone 7 with this 2 day hands-on training event. You’ll learn how to build Silverlight or XNA applications that take advantage of the many Windows Phone 7 platform features.

We’ll introduce all the basic topics required to get started building Silverlight applications or XNA games. We’ll cover the Windows Phone 7 platform, the frameworks and both designer and developer tooling. We’ll also cover the process for publishing your application or game to the Marketplace. Topics covered will be reinforced with hands-on-labs where attendees practice on their own laptops.

This event will take a basic approach so, while it may be helpful to know Visual Studio etc, that will not be a prerequisite. Developers new to the platform are welcome (encouraged, even!) to attend.
