"DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper! These FREE one day events build on the success of the previous DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper Days. As before, it is all about developers learning, sharing and interacting with each other in an informal and relaxed atmosphere.

If you are creating apps for Windows Phone 7, as a professional, independent or student developer please join us at one – or all – of these free events, which are all about apps!!

Our goal is to get as many apps ready for Marketplace submission as possible, give you the opportunity to get one-on-one assistance from MVPs or Microsoft evangelists, help you overcome any development and Marketplace submission challenges, and to have some fun along the way. "

If you're a rookie developer, or a savvy coding coding guru, you're wanted at the DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper event on Saturday, March 26th.

Microsoft MVPs are expected to be in attendence to help you with any problems you may be having in your app. And there will be tutorials covering subjects such as Tombstoning, Databinding, Designing with Expression Blend, and more!

And did I mention that they'll be giving away prizes such as a Samsung Omnia Windows Phone 7 device, an Xbox with Kinect, and software licenses?

Click the link to find out more information and register. Hurry! Each event could only accomodate 50 people.

Running a Marathon on WP7

Posted by Don Tolson in "Windows Phone Software" @ 08:00 AM

Who says there aren't any useful navigation applications for WP7? A little while ago, I wrote up a review of a running/walking training assistant called Marathon, by JMD Software which I found very useful on my treks around the local parks with my wife. Well, it seems JMD have jumped on the Silverlight development bandwagon and produced a version for Windows Phone 7. It's available from the Windows Phone Marketplace for $1.09USD which is pretty reasonable and the statistics presentation and interface to the Internet have been improved. It's neat to see software from the WM6.5 world evolve along with the O/S. Read more...

Windows Phone 7 Jump Start Training

Posted by Brad Wasson in "Windows Phone Talk" @ 05:30 PM

"We recognize that providing as much technical content as we can for the full range of developers is what developers deserve. While we plan on having more live training sessions in the coming weeks and months, we are also committed to making that content available as quickly as possible to as many developers as possible. Since this round of content is based on Beta Windows Phone Developer Tools, we will not be localizing it. For our non-English speaking developers, we will be providing localized training once we have released the final developer tools."

The Windows Team Blog has recently posted a set of 12 web-based training videos for Windows Phone 7 developers. The videos, typically about 50 minutes in length, are intended to be used in self-paced training. A quick perusal of the topics covered reveals sessions on application development (for various levels of skill), games, working with media, and more. This looks a great starting point for the budding Windows Phone 7 developer.

Microsoft Refreshes Windows Phone Developer Training Kit

"As part of our efforts to help developers jumpstart development of Windows Phone applications and games, yesterday (5/4/2010) we released a refresh of the Windows Phone Training Kit on Channel 9. You can download a local copy of the training kit, or you can go to the online version on Channel 9. This release includes Windows Phone MIX10 videos as well as one new lab. Due to the limited nature of this release, which focused on getting the tools to work with VS2010 RTM, we managed to introduce only one new lab - Using Push Notifications. This lab features an end-2-end scenario for a simple weather application that register to receive Push Notifications as well as a WPF client application that mimics the 3rd party backend server."

Now that Microsoft has refreshed the Windows Phone Developer Tools for the official release of Visual Studio 2010, what better way to boost your Windows Phone development efforts than with a refresh of the Windows Phone Developer Training Kit. It includes videos from MIX10, a new lab, and all of the other goodies from the previous release of the kit. Happy developing!
