We’re starting a new webcast series focused entirely on Microsoft Virtual Earth. Hosted by yours truly, the Webcast series will be hosted on the Momentum web site and is part of a new bi-monthly routine. Every month we’ll have a Virtual Earth 100 level overview of an industry, a technology or just something useful I want to discuss where Virtual Earth adds value. The second webcast will be at least a level 200 and dive a little deeper into the technology, concepts, architecture and perhaps a code sample or two. I’m looking forward to the series and hope you can tune in. The first webcast (level 100) is February 18, 2009 @ 10AM PST (register now); the second for the month is on February 25 @ 10AM PST (register now). The February webcasts will focus on Virtual Earth the retail industry. Below is the official communication:
