Nwa .NET: Windows Phone 7 Launch Event March 8th, 2011

You have been hearing a lot about the new Window Phone 7 lately.  Did you miss the bubble with iPhone development because you didn’t want to learn a whole new language and framework?  Then you're invited to a hands-on event for Windows Phone 7. 

Get some help getting your Windows Phone 7 app into the marketplace. You’ll receive everything you need to develop an app—including some good community fun, sample code and templates. You can work individually or collaborate with others as a team.

Chris Koenig, Senior Developer Evangelist with Microsoft will be joining me for this fun, fact filled, dare I say Lab filled event.

Attendees will also receive a special entry card for a chance to win a Windows Phone 7, after your app has been submitted to the marketplace.

Be there!

Get started

  • Download the Toolkit
  • Register at the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace
  • Download the Windows Phone Mobile Advertising SDK to monetize their app
