Windows Phone 7 Developer Launch Events in and around Mid-Atlantic

Don’t miss out on your opportunity to hear more about Windows Phone 7, get demos of the hardware, and learn for yourself how easy it is to develop apps for Windows Phone 7 in our hands-on labs. I’ll be on hand for the DC event, and my peers Dani Diaz and David Isbitski will be in Philly, so wherever you may be in Mid-Atlantic (or if you’re in the Boston, NYC, or Atlanta areas), be sure to sign up before these events sell out!

Windows Phone 7 Developer Launch Windows Phone 7 is here – and with it comes a new world of opportunity for passionate, creative developers. Windows Phone 7 gives you the power to build complex, robust applications using consistent hardware specs, a comprehensive development toolkit, and the all-new, full-service Marketplace for selling your apps. Get ready to capitalize on this exciting new frontier with two days of fast-paced learning and Windows Phone 7 development sessions. Pick the day that best fits your needs – or join us for both. Either way, you'll get the information you need to build high-demand apps with Windows Phone 7. Day 1: Jump-Start Your Mobile Development | 9:00am - 5:00pm In the first of this two-day launch event, we'll take you under the hood of Windows Phone 7 and the Windows Phone 7 platform with a progressive set of learning sessions. We'll start with the basic tools and fundamentals of Windows Phone 7 application development and as the day unfolds, we'll go deeper into development scenarios using Silverlight®, XNA® and the Windows Phone 7 SDK. You'll also see how to earn cash for your apps in the fully loaded Marketplace. Day 2: Unleash Your Best App Workshop | 10:00am - 3:00pm This hands-on workshop is designed to help you turn those napkin sketches and subway scribbles into real, sellable apps. You'll apply fundamental Windows Phone 7 design principles to build an app and upload it to the fully revamped Marketplace. Go at your own pace or follow along with a proctored group lab. Either way, you'll get step-by-step advice from Microsoft® and community experts. It's an unprecedented opportunity to stake your claim in the marketplace – using familiar tools and consistent specs.

We're looking forward to seeing you there!
