Windows Phone Camps (Boston, Burlington, New Paltz, and more!)

Another update, an additional stop at the University of Rochester on November 15th has been added. The registration link is now available at https://mangowp7rochester.eventbrite.com/.

Note, there has been a date change for the New Paltz, NY location. The event will be held on Wednesday, November 9, 2011.

Welcome to Mango-mania!  A wave of free Windows Phone Camps along the East Coast kicks off on Tuesday, the 20th in Charlotte, North Carolina.  These are one-day events covering how to develop applications for Windows Phone.   Sessions will include an overview of the development platform, new features of the 7.5 (Mango) release, and discussions of how to monetize your applications.  The day will end with an open lab, hands-on session where you can turn your great ideas into reality and submit your app to the marketplace (and perhaps even win a prize or a Windows Phone!). 

For developers of applications for iOS and Android, it’s a great opportunity to expand your offering (and profits!) to a new platform, and of course, there will be plenty of experts on hand to answer questions.

Note, that a special two-day event will be held in Boston, on October 12th and 13th; the entire second day is a hands-on session for developing apps, with the bonus of a few lightning talks by community members who have built successful apps for the Windows Phone marketplace.  You can attend either or both days, but do sign up for each individually.

Below are the registration links for the complete list of venues; Northeast stops are in bold.  Be sure to register quickly as space is limited.
