Speaker: G. Andrew Duthie
Topic: Windows Phone 7
Abstract: : Windows Phone 7 is almost here. The final dev tools have been released, and phones will be hitting the streets soon. In this presentation, we’ll take a look at Windows Phone 7, covering the device specifications, Metro UI, and other general features. We’ll then focus on developing for the platform, focusing primarily on Silverlight, and taking advantage of services the platform offers – such as Push Notification Service. We’ll also include a brief overview of XNA on the phone, and how to get your applications into the marketplace.
