For Tampa-area folks, Joe Healy has word of an upcoming Windows Phone developer event run by two top devs, Kevin Wolf and Bill Reiss.
Diego Rivera has a bunch of updates this week, including his new Super G: Chain Reaction game and a Unity development event for Atlanta-area devs tomorrow (act fast as there are only 25 slots available).
Frank La Vigne, from our public sector DPE team, has something of interest for DC-area startups, namely an interview with Evan Burfield, co-founder of DC incubator 1776.
Jesse Freeman shares his reflections on one year at Microsoft (worth the read, trust me), as well as a sneak peek at his latest weekend project.
Jim O'Neil wants to introduce Boston-area developers to game development. Join him this Saturday and learn something new!
Maria Naggaga has had a bad time of it lately, when she found out the hard way what happens if you accidentally delete the MySQL database behind your WordPress site. Learn from her mistake as she explains how to re-provision a database for an Azure-hosted WordPress instance, and how to connect your newly-provisioned DB to your WordPress site.
