The next Boston/New England Windows Mobile will be held on Wednesday, June 16th, 2010 starting at 6:30pm at the Microsoft offices in Waltham, MA (201 Jones Road, 6th Floor).

Our featured presentation is the next in a series focused on Windows Phone 7 application development -

"Silverlight UI Development Essentials for Windows Phone Developers"
Much of the early focus in preparation for Windows Phone 7 application development has been targeted at existing Silverlight developers considering Windows Phone 7 as a target platform. If you are a Compact Framework developer considering making the move to the new Silverlight tools, however, UI develpment takes on a whole new aspect and meaning.

In this presentation, you will be introduced to the development of user interfaces using XAML, Silverlight and Visual Studio 2010. You will also learn about the basic controls and best practices for Windows Phone 7 user interface development.

PLEASE NOTE: This session will focus on Windows Phone 7 UI development within the Visual Studio 2010 environment. Stay tuned for another session this summer on Windows Phone 7 UI development using Microsoft Expression Blend 4!

Just your friendly little reminder – the next meeting of the Boston/New England Windows Phone User and Developer Groups will be held this coming Wednesday, May 19th starting at 6:30pm at the Microsoft offices in Waltham, MA (201 Jones Road, 6th Floor).

Our featured presentation is the first in a series of focused Windows Phone 7 application development topics - “Application Data Storage In Windows Phone 7”.

While I am on the “reminder” subject – if you are a Facebook user and have not yet “liked” the BostonPocketPC page, please be sure to do so. You’ll receive the latest information on user and developer group meetings, topics and other relevant information.
