As part of our efforts to help developers get started with building their applications and games on the Windows Phone 7 platform we’re planning a couple of events in Redmond (May 18-19) and Silicon Valley (May 25-26). If you’re interested, be sure to register using the links below.
Get a jump-start on building apps for Windows Phone 7 with this 2 day hands-on training event. You’ll learn how to build Silverlight or XNA applications that take advantage of the many Windows Phone 7 platform features.
We’ll introduce all the basic topics required to get started building Silverlight applications or XNA games. We’ll cover the Windows Phone 7 platform, the frameworks and both designer and developer tooling. We’ll also cover the process for publishing your application or game to the Marketplace. Topics covered will be reinforced with hands-on-labs where attendees practice on their own laptops.
This event will take a basic approach so, while it may be helpful to know Visual Studio etc, that will not be a prerequisite. Developers new to the platform are welcome (encouraged, even!) to attend.
Attendees are expected to bring their own laptops to follow along and to participate in the Hand-On Labs.
Technical Prerequisites: To save time, be sure to have the following installed on your laptop before arriving for the event:
Knowledge of a development language such as C#, C/C++, Java, or JavaScript is expected.
Knowledge and experience with previous versions of Visual Studio, C#, Silverlight and XNA is useful but not required.
The following topics will be covered at the event:
This event is free of charge. However, attendees are responsible for booking and paying for their own travel and accommodation. Both breakfast and lunch will be provided for session days.
Redmond: Numerous hotels are available close to the Platform Adoption Center. For your convenience we’ve provided a hotel map of the area as well as a more comprehensive list of Redmond-area hotels.
Silicon Valley: The Silicon Valley event will be held at the Hilton Santa Clara hotel.
