Windows Phone 7 Jump Start Training Now Available Online
Microsoft MVP Rob Miles and Andy Wigley led a live training course about a month ago, focused on getting developers trained up on building amazing applications and games for Windows Phone 7. That training event is now available online.
As an editorial, I took this training and it was awesome. It is worth the time to dive deep into code and to see how it all fits together. The sessions provide a lot of code walkthroughs and the examples go beyond “Hello World” demos of a feature.
There are 12 sessions in total, each about :50 minutes in length.
