Inspiration Tour Update

  • Article

imageWe've been on the road since October, traveled over 15 thousand miles and spoken to nearly four thousand students about Silverlight, XNA and Windows Embedded amongst other technologies. As we've gone to each university we've taken photos which I've been uploading to Flickr with geotags. I've now built a nice little Popfly app which uses virtual earth to show you all the places we've been.

You can take a look at the live application here, if you haven't used Popfly yet, I'd really recommend you visit Popfly.com and have a play.

We've only got another 5 tour sessions to go:

  • 9th April - The University of Plymouth
  • 16th April - The University of Manchester 
  • 23rd April - University of Southampton
  • 2nd May - City University
  • 7th May - Nottingham Trent University

And then that's us done until next academic year, it's been great fun but it's nice to cut back on the traveling :)

While you're there it's also worth visiting DreamSpark and bagging yourself some free software. If you do have any problems verifying on DreamSpark take a look at my post here.
